<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3579229, member: 74968&quot;]I have been looking for one of these for 2 years. It seems fitting that I landed this one on my 4 year anniversary on Cointalk.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Many of you are aware that I have this rare coin of Tiberius with the quadriga reverse. 2 years ago I realized that it was based on a coin of Augustus. Here is the Tiberius.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tiberius, 14-37 Denarius Lugdunum circa 15-16, AR (18.55 mm., 3.85 g). </p><p>Obv: TI CAESAR DIVI - AVG F AVGVSTVS Laureate head r. </p><p>Rev: TR POT XVII IMP VII Tiberius holding branch and eagle-tipped scepter in triumphal quadriga r. </p><p>RIC 4 (R2) C 48.

The interesting thing about the coin I bought is that it is misattributed. The description on Naville claims it is RIC 222 (R). However, if you look closely you can see that 2 of the horses are looking in the opposite direction. The coin is in fact RIC 224 (R2).</p><p><br /></p><p>I am really pleased that I will get to add this coin to my collection. Please post your coins of Augustus, or coins that you had to wait to purchase. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]954848[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><b>Octavian as Augustus, 27 BC – 14 AD Denarius </b></p><p><b>Lugdunum circa 13-14, </b></p><p><b>18mm., 3.56g. </b></p><p><b>Obv:Laureate head r. </b></p><p><b>Rev.
