[QUOTE="Michael Stolt, post: 3708671, member: 100445"]Thought I'd share this absolute stunner I won earlier this week at the Heritage Signature sale. This is a type that is notoriously difficult to acquire in higher grade and that is missing from many of the major collections. And while researching the type more extensively prior to the sale I have not stumbled upon many that even come near this one in preservation. I was also very pleasantly surprised it went much lower than inferior specimens have in the past (not sure where Clio was hiding for this one). It will of course be freed from the dreadful plastic coffin upon arrival :) [B]C. Vibius Varus. 42 BC. AR Denarius (19mm, 3.67 g, 11h). Rome mint.[/B] Obverse: [I]Laureate and bearded head of Hercules right.[/I] Reverse: [I]Minerva, helmeted and draped, standing right, holding spear in right hand and Victory in extended left; shield at side, C • VIBIVS downward to right, VARVS downward to left.[/I] Reference: Crawford 494/37 [IMG]https://scontent.fbma1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/70005435_10156842218361596_910349839152185344_o.jpg?_nc_cat=102&_nc_eui2=AeH4EIARBOBeSXLSGNZGtuxprxw-amGCfFMDP-8E9EVaYUFQaLVQI09qwUcw4Md4i_OoSHX5D7It3rfyX0WxZMd-c80gSRyEVCudjF3XsVmxXQ&_nc_oc=AQmVtg9bndzmWco168mVBK01YLd4iXyecs29G-nfbq8pj0porEYnQ0BRaakAjhBQRAQ&_nc_ht=scontent.fbma1-1.fna&oh=7a2a3bbd469e5cfa4fd755f5081a7bde&oe=5DF98E06[/IMG][/QUOTE]
