<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael Stolt, post: 3308994, member: 100445&quot;]Just wanted to share this beautiful anonymous Republican denarius I got home in the mail the other day. I already own a specimen of the same type (Crawford 53/2) I&#039;m sharing as well but from another of Steve Brinkmans sub groups that can be found here on his homepage ( <a href="http://www.stevebrinkman.ancients.info" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.stevebrinkman.ancients.info" rel="nofollow">http://www.stevebrinkman.ancients.info</a> ) that also contains a lot of useful info regarding other anonymous Republican types and how to identify them. I hope you enjoy these two that should be from Group 1 and Group 4.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.ancientcoingallery.net/Files/Images/Coinsite/CoinDB/AnonnymouScr532croped1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Anonymous.

It is nearly always found with a loop under the visor, believed to be an attribute of Sicilian origin. There are no symboled siblings for this group.”[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
