[QUOTE="svessien, post: 4697403, member: 15481"]Hi everyone I had a coin buying session yesterday, with a.o. the Naumann auction going on. Got a couple of nice new coins, this one was one of them: [ATTACH=full]1154300[/ATTACH] Description: [I]APPIUS CLAUDIUS PULCHER, T. MANLIUS MANCIUS and Q. URBINIUS. Denarius (111-110 BC). Rome. Obv: Helmeted head of Roma right; quadrangular device to left. Rev: T MAL AP CL Q VR. Victory driving triga right. Crawford 299/1b. [/I] [U][I]Condition: Near very fine.[/I][/U] [I] Weight: 3.93 g. Diameter: 18 mm.[/I] I think «near very fine» is a bit harsh? I would rather have said «near extremely fine», or what do you guys think? Anyway, it’s nice to add this coin to the collection. I like the style on the head of Roma on this issue, and it’s a nice link to good old Appius Claudius, one of the Romans [U]not[/U] famous for war events. :)[/QUOTE]
