<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3659720, member: 19463"]Mine isn't as high grade but I could not pass it up when it turned up at a show. I had not before seen one like Jochen's with the SC right of Mars. Most have the S between his feet and the C just right. Some have the SC in exergue. I hoped mine was in exergue but it may just have been smoothed away. I believe this is possible because the SC in exergue coins I have seen seem to have the dots under Rhea Silvia as opposed to the solid line on Jochen's coin. The SC in exergue coins also show Mars a bit farther left than the SC in fields type which show him hovering over her. Comments from pros appreciated. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]983832[/ATTACH] </p><p><img src="https://www.cngcoins.com/photos/big/591986.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://www.cngcoins.com/photos/small/631365.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Jochen's denarius is exceptionally well centered retaining the FAVSTLVS which is off flan on lesser ones like mine.
