<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2201768, member: 19463&quot;]Really nice coin and write up!&nbsp; I will point out that several types of post reform (16 as) denarii also have the X value mark.&nbsp; Many crossed the X making the ligate XVI or * but some took the plain X to mean denarius and did not bother with the detail that the rate went to 16.&nbsp; The most common X denarii of the early days are the anonymous and symbol marked coins with biga or Dioscuri reverses.&nbsp; There are a few fancier ones but most of those will be after the retariff.&nbsp; Mine is a Dioscuri reverse but was fancied up with the addition of a victory on the X.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]429039[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>...also beware of fourrees in this period.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]429040[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
