<p>[QUOTE="Volodya, post: 2965851, member: 19615"]One more quick point about this issue: Crawford 353/1b, with <i>both </i>C.F. and the monogram before Apollo, is excessively rare and under-appreciated by collectors. I looked into this in some depth awhile back and could find <b>no </b>example other than the Cosa Hoard specimen cited by Crawford. My friend Pierluigi Dibarnardi recently discovered and published in <i>Numismatic Chronicle</i> a second specimen. It's surprising really that Crawford gave this its own sub-category, as it's pretty clearly an engraver's error, the sort of thing he typically notes in a note (so to speak.) I badly want one, if anyone has a third example lying around![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
