<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 2877027, member: 51347&quot;]Hmmm... My Grail coins will probably mean nothing to other folks&#039; as I collect different eclectic niches in Ancients, not the &quot;normal&quot; Roman Imperials.&nbsp; Mine too, were a long search and accepted that I may not get a top quality. Rather, I wanted to capture the coin for its rarity, a critical place holder in history, and/or uniqueness.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>PRE-DENARIUS ROMAN COINAGE:</b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]688736[/ATTACH]</p><p>RR Anon AE 23 Quincunx 211-208 BCE 6.96g Apollo P behind Dioscuri Luceria 5 pellets Cr 99-4 Syd 309 Sear 910 Rare</p><p>Five-Twelfths of an As - very unusual denomination.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>MARSIC WAR:</b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]688739[/ATTACH]</p><p>Marsic Confederation denarius 89 BCE Italia-Italia seated shields victory Corfinium Campana retro B 105 HN Italy 412a Sear 228 Rare</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>ETRURIA:</b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]688746[/ATTACH]</p><p>Etruria, Populonia</p><p><b>2-½ asses , AR</b> 0.85 g</p><p>3rd century BC</p><p>Obv: Radiate female head r.; behind, CII.</p><p>Rev: Blank.</p><p>Ref: EC 104 (misdescribed, Female head with an Attic helmet).
