<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fugio1, post: 3413821, member: 89970&quot;]I had the pleasure to see this hoard first-hand early on and have collaborated with Pierluigi Debernardi on an article recently submitted that documents the hoard.&nbsp;&nbsp; The hoard contained several varieties.&nbsp;&nbsp; A large number of the coins in this hoard were Apulian types (L, LT, Q, VB...) which were found with no trace of circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=74282]@red_spork[/USER] Your Luceria Victoriatus is marvelous and here is why.&nbsp; Although nearly all of these coins were mint state, I only found about 20% were fully centered on both obverse and reverse.&nbsp; Although there were some true FDC examples,&nbsp; the majority were ill struck, on irregular flans with one or both sides at least partially off-center obscuring some part of the type.&nbsp; Yours is centered on both sides and complete, so among the minority of the hoard.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is one of the anonymous types (Cr. 44/1) that I acquired from the hoard.&nbsp; Unlike the Apulian types, this shows a little wear, suggesting it was probably earlier.[ATTACH=full]906070[/ATTACH]</p><p>Steve Brinkman[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
