<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 2783986, member: 14873&quot;]I have posted this coin previously, so please excuse the repetition. Also, my photo images do not do justice to this coin -- I am afraid I am not much of a photographer -- as they say, &quot;it looks much better in hand&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have always wanted to own a lifetime Julius Caesar denarius -- with a well centered, reasonably well defined, portrait and the CAESAR DICT PERPETVO inscription. I think I was lucky to find this coin at an affordable price (for me) -- as I searched I soon discovered that these coins command hefty prices especially in conformance with my criteria -- so many are very badly worn with only partial or significantly off-center portraits -- unless you are willing to spend a small fortune!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://jp29.org/jco.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://jp29.org/jcr.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>JULIUS CAESAR</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Denarius, Crawford, Roman Republican Coins (RRC), No. 480/8 (March 44 BC - Alföldi)</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin obverse depiction: Julius Caesar laureate bust facing right</p><p>Inscription clockwise from right: <b>CAESAR DICT PERPETVO</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Coin reverse depiction: Venus standing, facing left, holding statuette of victory on palm of right hand and supporting vertical scepter with left hand</p><p>Inscription vertical to right: <b>L BVCA</b> (Moneyer)</p><p><br /></p><p>Rough surfaces: it seems to me most Julius Caesar lifetime portrait coins are frequently in not very good condition[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
