<p>[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 24902169, member: 74282"]I spotted this coin on eBay only identified as a Roman Republic quinarius and fairly cheap. A nicer example of this extremely rare type would have cost me probably $5k minimum in the current market so I was happy to grab this terrible example. For those not aware, the Rome mint silver fractions(quinarii and sestertii) from this time period are all rare as hens teeth and lately have seen a massive surge in hammer prices even compared to other RR issues.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1600388[/ATTACH] </p><p>Roman Imperatorial period AR Quinarius(1.74g), A.
