[QUOTE="Eng, post: 2148737, member: 44227"]Time runs faster every day. for my 2000th. post i want to show one of my bucket list coins. 2134 years old, give or take a year or two, Roman Republic Janus Denarius. please feel free to post your Janus or Roman Republic coins.. M Fourius L F Philus Roman Republic 119 BC. Ar Denarius.. Obv. laereate head of Janus..' M FOVRI F' around. Rev. Roma standing left erecting trophy, gallic arms right. PHLI in ex. 19mm x 3.84g. I bought this as a reg. denarius, but i think it may be a fourree'. threre's some copper showing on the edge, under magnification. still love the coin and i do collect fourree coins. For those reading this a fourree' is a plated coin to fool or cut down on the amount of silver used, much debate on these coins. [ATTACH=full]411952[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]411953[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
