<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 3369278, member: 75525&quot;]I waited a long time to buy a L HOSTILIVS SASERNA. The coin is often poorly struck, off center or <u>expensive</u>. I found one that has a bit of wear, but is a good example of how a coin with some wear can be better than ones with less wear.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]893651[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]893652[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Roman Republic, AR denarius, 48 BC, Rome mint</p><p>L.

The reverse design is positioned so all of Diana and the stag are on the coin. Some lettering to the right of Diana is missing. The bottom of Gallia’s hair is missing. The rest of her features are on the coin. Well centered, good strike, toned.</p><p>16.5 X 19.0 mm</p><p>3.65 g</p><p>8h</p><p><br /></p><p>Crawford - 448/3</p><p>Grueber - Rome 3996</p><p>Sear – RCV - 416 / CRI - 19</p><p>Sydenham - 953</p><p>RSC / Bab - Hostilia 4</p><p>RBW - 1570</p><p><br /></p><p>I know a few lady deer hunters, but not many.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
