Bought a few this weekend but this is my favorite. Good details and good color. From my research, it appears that this one design is the only one put out by this particular moneyer. Roman Republican denarius L. Cassius Caeicianus Ceres / Yoke of oxen 102 BC 3.83g Please join in if you have this moneyer or any others known by only one coin design.
Nice-looking RR! Cossutius Sabula... known only from his coin issues, which utilised only one design. ROMAN REPUBLIC AR Denarius. 3.86g, 18.6mm. Rome mint, 74 BC. C. Cossutius C.f. Sabula, moneyer. Babelon Cossutia 1; Sydenham 790; Crawford 395/1. O: SABVLA, Head of Medusa left. R: Bellerophon on Pegasos right, brandishing spear in right hand; below, L·COSSVTI·C·F.; behind, IIII.
What a beautiful piece, h8m! With the closeup I have to admit that it looks like, with but a single design, this moneyer put out a lot of bull.
WELL DONE @H8_modern ! I have looked at that issue before with a serious eye of capturing it... You did extremely well! Beautiful toning, well struck, great centering, just a great coin! I believe these are single issue Moneyers: RR AR Denarius 149 BCE Pinarius Natta Roma X - Victory Biga whip NATTA ROMA Cr 208-1 Syd 390 RR VF L Saufeius 152 BCE AR Denarius Roma Biga Sear 83 Craw 204-1 RR P Cornelius Sulla 151 BCE AR Den Roma Biga Sear 84 Cr 205-1 (Nope, not THE Sulla) RR Maianius 153 BCE AR Den Roma Biga Sear 82 Cr 203-1a RR Furius Purpurio 169-157 BCE Roma Luna Lucifera Biga Linear Frame murex shell Cr 187-1 (one of the first identified Moneyers on the coin...sly and witty by using the purpurio/murex shell as a play on his name... and not an "Anonymous" issue) RR AR Denarius 3.65g 18.2mm 146 BCE C•ANTESTI Roma R winged - Dioscuri horseback gllpng R puppy R below forelegs ROMA Cr 219-1e This is when they RETARRIFFED the Denarius from TEN to 16 Asses... it was not a crossed X (*), rather the XVI denomination...

Thanks, I wish I was a better photographer because the color is better in hand than my pic. Very nice set of single issues you’ve got there.
