<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 2369154, member: 57495&quot;]I usually only post my coins after they&#039;ve arrived, but I&#039;ll go ahead and post this CNG Wednesday win as a tip of the hat to [USER=44183]@stevex6[/USER] .&nbsp; I already have a fairly nice Nemausus croc, but one is seldom enough with these coins, and Steve by stepping back from a coin he also had his eye on, allowed me to score it for a modest hammer of $140. Thanks to [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER] as well for keeping two dogs from fighting over one bone <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin shows a fair amount of wear and surface roughness, but is almost perfectly centered on one side and about 80% on the other, so just about all the devices are intact.&nbsp; If that were not enough to make it a keeper, this rare variant has the abbreviated city name spelled COL-NIM rather than COL-NEM!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you aren&#039;t by now completely and totally bored with these coins, feel free to comment or throw in your own croc coins!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://cngcoins.com/photos/enlarged/3700258.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>AUGUSTUS, WITH AGRIPPA</b></p><p>AE As</p><p>11.98g, 25mm</p><p>GAUL, Nemasus, circa 20-10 BC</p><p>RIC I 156 (R)</p><p>O: IMP/DIVI.F., head of Agrippa left, wearing combined rostral crown and laurel wreath, bare head of Augustus right. </p><p>R: COL-NIM, crocodile right chained to palm frond with its tip to right; two wreaths above, palm fronds below.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
