<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2265132, member: 74282&quot;]I think my latest purchase is a good candidate for this thread. Seller&#039;s photos because I don&#039;t have it in-hand yet, and even once I can take better pictures this is not going to win any beauty contests in relation to many of my RR denarii, but it is a scarcer coin(Cr. 422/1a) that was misidentified as its more common sibling(Cr. 422/1b). One of these days I will pick up a nicer example of the more common coin, but until then this one will do</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]450375[/ATTACH]</p><p>Roman Republic AR denarius(18.5mm, 3.89g).
