<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 8635782, member: 74282&quot;]A couple new additions from Second Punic War Sicily not worthy of individual forum posts. First, a rare uncia variety in the style of the wheat-ear issue(Crawford 42/4) without the wheat-ear mintmark on the reverse. This specific type without the mintmark is not listed in Crawford:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1516918[/ATTACH] </p><p>Roman Republic Æ Uncia(6.04g, 21mm, 6h). Anonymous, style of corn-ear(wheat-ear) series. 214-212 B.C. Sicilian mint. Helmeted head of Roma right; behind, • / Prow of galley right; ROMA above; below, •. Roberto Russo, Essays Hersh, pl. 18, 34; McCabe Group B1; Crawford -(but cf. 42/4 for similar style with corn-ear); Sydenham -</p><p>Ex Roma Numismatics E-Sale 101, 13 October 2022, lot 883, &quot;From a private European collection&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>And a scarcer anonymous denarius, Crawford 75/1c, the unsigned sibling of the C AL issue. This is an upgrade for me. My previous example had some flatness on the reverse and just wasn&#039;t a great coin. This is much better and the cost was a very modest uplift after selling <a href="https://gallery.respublicacoins.com/picture.php?/104/category/12" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://gallery.respublicacoins.com/picture.php?/104/category/12" rel="nofollow">my prior example</a>:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1516919[/ATTACH] </p><p>Roman Republic AR Denarius(19mm, 4.47 g, 1h), anonymous(related to C AL series), 209-208 B.C., Sicilian mint.
