<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2400811, member: 19463&quot;]A denarius of Herennia Etrucilla would be worth a hundred times her sestertii but all of them you will see are the Slavey fakes.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure there are any real ones.&nbsp; There are real denarii of Decius so hers are possible.&nbsp; I suspect Slavey&#039;s copy was from the aureus and he just made some silver ones, too.&nbsp;&nbsp; Now, I realize that folks here meant to say antoninianus which is the common silver coin of Decius and his family but there are very rare denarii this late (last common ones are Gordian III).&nbsp; My sestertius is a junker; Mats new one is very nice.&nbsp; I also tack on a common antoninianus showing the crescent under the bust denoting the double denomination.&nbsp; I seem to have lost the individual images of my Slavey group so I&#039;ll just refer anyone wishing to see that fake to the bottom row of the group on my page:</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/fake.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/fake.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/fake.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]494730[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]494731[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>High rollers among you will want her double sestertius.&nbsp; They are striking coins and CNG sold a VF for a bargain $17,500 a while back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
