<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 2550518, member: 8959&quot;]I have been looking at this J.C denarius for some time now, and the more I examine the more it affirms my belief that the coin saw relatively little actual wear (for sure circulated some), but most of the weakness seen is just a (really) poor strike. The obverse in particular is weak.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not only was the strike way off-center, but also dramatically weak in parts. I have seen a few other J.C denarii like this.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you guys think, poor strike rather than circulation wear?</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Julius Caesar.</b> February-March 44 BC.
