<p>[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 2859459, member: 74282"]Yup, Crawford 53/2, Brinkman Group 5 is correct. Nice example for the price! For some additional context I can tell you that Crawford and thus, most major auction houses date these as "after 211 B.C." which is technically correct but more recent hoard evidence suggests these issues with "peaked" visor are in fact a bit later than that. There have been a few early hoards found that included many early denarii but none or only a few with "peaked" visors. Some of these hoards contain coins that appear to have around a decade of circulation but the peaked visor denarii are almost mint state, so many RR numismatists currently consider the earliest peaked denarii to date to circa 206-195 B.C. as opposed to the earlier dating suggested by Crawford.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
