<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SeptimusT, post: 3278625, member: 91240&quot;]I love imperfect coins of historical interest, and they make up a big chunk of my collection. Here is one of my favorites, a Republican denarius of Q. Minucius Thermus which has been pierced for some sort of mounting. You can see some remnants of the base metal mount around one obverse side of the hole. I believe it might have been worn as an amulet of some sort, and like to imagine it belonged to a soldier, since Mars is depicted on the obverse. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]866279[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
