[QUOTE="rrdenarius, post: 2665092, member: 75525"][USER=76440]@Carausius[/USER] [USER=74282]@red_spork[/USER] [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER] I have seen several corn ear KA overstrikes recently. I thought this one was interesting because it was a corn ear (no KA) over an uncia. I targeted the over-type coin in an auction Saturday. I stopped bidding after a combined 15 bids & saved my money for Sunday. [ATTACH=full]592036[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]592037[/ATTACH] The corn-ear over-strike was a really nice coin, but I did not want it as much as someone else. [ATTACH=full]592038[/ATTACH] I did find it interesting that NN did not mention the over-strike in the coin description. I guess Stefanelli collection reference was meant to be the coin's selling point. Corn-ear (first) series Uncia Sicily circa 214-212, Æ 20.5mm., 5.31g. Head of Roma r., wearing Attic helmet; behind, pellet. Rev. ROMA Prow r.; above, corn-ear and below, pellet. Crawford 42/4 = 72/9. nice dark green patina. Very Fine/Good Very Fine. From the E.E. Clain Stefanelli collection. [ATTACH=full]592040[/ATTACH] NN did not mention the ghost riders on the coin I won either. P. Paetus. Denarius circa 138, AR 20mm., 3.57g. Helmeted head of Roma r.; behind, X. Rev. The Dioscuri galloping r.; below, P·PAETVS and in exergue, ROMA. Babelon Aelia 3. Sydenham 455. Crawford 233/1. Banker's marks on obv.; otherwise Very Fine.
