<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2636397, member: 19463&quot;]Just to reinforce the point of variations, I bought this one because it was just a bit odd - wide and thin.&nbsp; Professionally done coins of the Republic&nbsp; were struck so many to the pound with less emphasis on keeping every one exactly like every other one.&nbsp; Add to that the fact that Antony was running a high stress operation and it is no wonder we get variations.&nbsp; The most interesting part to me is that his relatively poor alloy meant people spent his coins and saved ones with better silver resulting these denarii still circulated centuries later.&nbsp; We see a lot of them worn almost smooth.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]580976[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
