[QUOTE="1934 Wreath Crown, post: 5174629, member: 76965"]This rather attractive lifetime denarius IMHO was on offer at Roma and I feel I was lucky to get it at a decent price. Auctioneer's description: Julius Caesar AR Denarius. Rome, January-February 44 BC. P. Sepullius Macer, moneyer. Wreathed head of Caesar to right; star of eight rays behind, CAESAR•IMP downwards before / Venus Victrix standing to left, holding Victory in outstretched right hand and with left, resting on vertical sceptre set on star; P•SEPVLLIVS downwards to right, MACER upwards to left. From the Andrew McCabe Collection, collector's ticket included. The middle section of the reverse appears a bit weakly struck but overall I thought the details and even the face of Venus was very clear. I particularly liked the portrait of JC on a good shaped flan and the metal quality also appears very good in the pictures I'm even prepared to overlook what appears like a small flan flaw at around 3 o'clock on the reverse. This will definitely make my top 10 for 2020 with the year I'm having:( [ATTACH=full]1211489[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1211490[/ATTACH] Looks like an almost uncirculated specimen to me, what do you all think?[/QUOTE]
