<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MoCKBu4, post: 2468349, member: 80376&quot;]Hi,</p><p>I&#039;m new to this forum so please excuse me if I break any forum rules during the first post.</p><p>Anyways, I am currently trying to build up the early Roman Republic collection so I recently purchased a Janus didrachm (Crawford 31/1) and then the early anonymous denarius shown in the pic to be able to display the Roman Republican currency reform during the Second Punic War. I paid quite a bit of money for the denarius (perhaps too much) solely based on the seller&#039;s coin attribution to Crawford 44/5 from ca. 211-206 BC, as I am specifically seeking a denarius from this timeframe. The coin is 20.1 mm and 3.76 grams.</p><p>After doing some research on Steve Brinkman&#039;s page and Ancient Coins Forum I&#039;ve discovered that the coin was misattributed and is in fact a Crawford 53/2 type Group 4 or 5.</p><p>Now, my question is, given the attribution and the coin&#039;s weight (which is about half of a gram lighter than a typical early denarius), is there still a chance that it might fall into 211-206 BC timeframe or is it out of the question?</p><p>Also, what would be a fair market estimate of the shown coin? Just want to know by how much I overpaid.</p><p>I know I should&#039;ve done my research prior to the purchase but I&#039;ve doing business with this particular seller for a while and normally trust his attributions.</p><p>Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
