<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2729718, member: 76194&quot;]I won a modest little coin from the prestigious Kenneth W. Dorney auction. I had bid on a cheaper coin, but got outbid, and not wishing to get into a bidding war for yet another Roman Republic denarius with a biga or quadriga reverse theme, I decided to up the ante a little. I was the only bidder on this baby, and at a decent price compared to what I&#039;ve seen for sale out there.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]620361[/ATTACH]</p><p><font size="4"><b>Lot 070.

The details on the coin are decent and are fairly well centered compared to some examples I&#039;ve seen out there. At least there is no horse at all on the reverse, which is a big win for me. This is only my second Roman Republic denarius without any horses at all on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Show off your own M. Herennius examples, or any win from today&#039;s Kenneth W. Dorney auction. Thanks to our own member [USER=76086]@Ken Dorney[/USER] for going through the trouble of putting together this auction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
