[QUOTE="H8_modern, post: 4029508, member: 28531"]Picked this up yesterday at a show in Vienna, Virginia because any Argenteus is pretty rare and other than the missing piece it’s pretty nice.

[ATTACH=full]1059063[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1059064[/ATTACH] Both have the campgate reverse with the legend VIRTUS MILITUM but the AUG on the obverse limits us these two options. I’ve looked through CNG archives and I’ve found portraits of both the look close. The Alexandria mintmark doesn’t seem to help one way or the other so I’m here to ask for help from the experts. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks Jim[/QUOTE]
