<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2254828, member: 74282&quot;]Since there was some discussion of overstrikes in this thread, I thought I&#039;d share my latest purchase. I will have had much more time to research and possibly(but probably not) even work out the undertype once I get this in and take better pictures, but here&#039;s a preview:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]446684[/ATTACH] </p><p>Roman Republic Æ Sextans(4.58 grams, 20.67 mm). Caius Aurunculeius Cotta, Praetor of Sardinia, 209 BC. Sardinian mint. Head of Mercury right. above, two pellets / Prow right; above, ROMA; before AVR monogram; two pellets below. Crawford 65/6, Sydenham 162d. Ex F.J. Rath list 5, 1970.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are virtually all overstruck on Sardinian, Sicilian or Punic bronzes, and this one shows evidence of it, but I haven&#039;t worked out the undertype so far.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
