<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 24639994, member: 26430&quot;]That&#039;s a heck of a coin in many ways. I didn&#039;t watch that auction (I started watching all the Leu&#039;s with sale #6, &quot;Kleinkunst&quot;), but this is a coin I would&#039;ve remembered.</p><p><br /></p><p>I love the broad &quot;medallic&quot; flan. It certainly gives the impression of a more &quot;ceremonial&quot; issue (the centering and good strike, and large size of the flan relative to the dies), rather than a coin intended for usual circulation -- which is something I&#039;ve heard about some of the rare later bronze denarii.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a thing about the line or bead borders. Once you start looking, it&#039;s surprisingly hard to find complete, unbroken, and centered ones on Roman Imperial coins -- especially to have it on both sides! (Or on most other Greek, Roman, Byzantine types. Anyone can check their coins, any coin with complete borders usually stands out as especially impressive.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
