Fantastic trays @Cucumbor ! Beautiful!

 

Very nice @Cucumbor

 

A little late in congratulating you, Nemo, on your wonderful achievement with regard to the coinage of the Civil War!

If I am not mistaken you have now examples of denarii of 5 Groups (out of the 6) described by R.I.C?
I am still not very adept at recognizing the various types, except perhaps Groups I and II (Hispania and Gallia).

I can honestly say that you have been instrumental (responsible?) for inspiring me to look at this coinage - and now have my first example with a 'Bon Event' denarius for Spain/Galba.
Next shall be a Gallic issue I would guess, as these seem to be more easily available than groups 3-5. I would dearly like, however, to also find an example of Group V (Germania).

I think I will not even attempt to find a Group VI denarius, or a Macer for that matter.

 

Awesome denari of Otho (my personal fav), Nero, Titus, Vitellius + Marc Antony and of course double -faced Trajan (have myself 2)

 

Thanks for the kind words Eduard. Unfortunately I only have three of the six groups. I, II and two examples of group IV.
Your Bon Event denarius is really excellent. There was a nice one available from Forvm, I delayed and it disappeared.
I look forward to seeing your Civil Wars collection grow!

 

I think I know the one you mean. I had my eye on it also. I was planning on buying it during one of the 10% off sales but alas...it was gone.

 

Yeah, I'm sure it was the same one. I was planning the same thing as you.

 

Man, you guys have some great coins.
