<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3267260, member: 74968&quot;]Gavin, that is a wonderful top ten. The standout for me is the Ivlivs Caesar portrait denarius. This coin has a lot going for it. It has most of the legend, a very distinctive portrait, and a nice reverse as well. Personally, I like the wear on this. Was it worn down by some legionary dreaming of the glory days of Caesar? What did the merchants think who handled this coin? Was it kept by someone for years or traded eagerly for decades? I love coins that have stories, and the wear on this coin speaks to its storied past. Like you I wanted one of these for its historical significance. To think that these coins were minted just before one of the most important events in world history makes one grateful to own such an artifact.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
