[QUOTE="AussieCollector, post: 4478516, member: 81093"][B]EDIT - it turned out to be a fake (read thread below)[/B] Hi all It's a bit unbelievable, but I have made my first Ancient coin purchase for the year. I mostly blame COVID-19, as I have been hesitant to order coins from overseas given the travel restrictions and issues with international shipping. But, I found this from a reputable local dealer! Very pleased with the quality for the price. I wouldn't exactly say it was bargain basement price, but the wife also wouldn't raise an eyebrow. Cheers AC [B]Denarius[/B] Ancient Rome (Republic), 83 B.C. Ruler: C. Norbanus Obverse: Head of Venus right, wearing diadem; behind, control-mark. Border of dots. Obverse Legend: VIIII C NORBANVS Reverse: Prow stem, fasces with axe, caduceus and corn-ear. Border of dots. Diameter: 18.61mm; Weight: 3.28g; Metal: Silver Condition: Very Fine Reference Numbers: [URL='http://numismatics.org/crro/id/rrc-357.1b']RRC 357/1b[/URL] [ATTACH=full]1113097[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
