<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AndrewC, post: 7471095, member: 97642&quot;]I was looking through the catalogue for CNG 491 and found this Republican denarius. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1293765[/ATTACH] </p><p>The coin caught my eye because it was the same type as the one in the previous lot, but looked completely different; I can&#039;t see any discernible flow lines and the details are not as sharp. Additionally, It seems that the pits and bubble(s) (under Jupiter&#039;s leg) on the surface could be from casting. However, it&#039;s being sold by a very reputable auction house and has been in other collections, so I&#039;m not sure if I&#039;m coming to the wrong conclusions as I&#039;m still definitely a novice here. What do you think about this coin and how could these imperfections be explained otherwise? Should I be worried at all about this coin?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
