<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2792284, member: 76086&quot;]So, I was&nbsp; cataloging some coins and found an unusual one. I put it aside as I have much to do, but it came back up tonight.&nbsp; This one is for any Republican experts.&nbsp; I just cant seem to find it listed anywhere.&nbsp; I have checked all the sales records (many hundreds of them) major and minor and havent seen another.&nbsp; Maybe I am looking too closely, but maybe someone can see what should be obvious:</p><p><br /></p><p>C Vibius Pansa, 90 BC</p><p>Silver Denarius, Rome Mint, 18mm, 4.25 grams</p><p>Obv:&nbsp; Laureate head of Apollo right, PANSA behind.</p><p>Rx:&nbsp; Minerva driving galloping quadriga right holding reins and spear, C VIBIVS C F in exergue.</p><p>Vibia1&nbsp; //&nbsp; Crawford342/5&nbsp; //&nbsp; Sydenham684</p><p><br /></p><p>So, what&#039;s unusual?&nbsp; There seems to be a control mark just below the legs of the horses.&nbsp; Perhaps I am looking at it too closely, but it appears to be one of two things:&nbsp; Either the letter &quot;R&quot; or a male bearded head facing right.&nbsp; Can anyone tell me what I am missing?&nbsp; I promise not to be embarrassed.&nbsp; Missing the obvious happens often as I get older.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]648944[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
