[QUOTE="Bing, post: 2674018, member: 44132"]Last week this coin arrived and I couldn't be more pleased with it. Well struck and centered with good details even though worn through use.

Second, while researching the name, again no connection to that time period of 108-107 BC. I would greatly appreciate any additional information if anyone here knows. Now the coin itself: [ATTACH=full]596042[/ATTACH] L VALERIUS FLACCUS ROMAN REPUBLIC; GENS VALERIA AR Denarius OBVERSE: Draped bust of Victory right, star under chin REVERSE: Mars walking left, carrying trophy; L.
