<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Volodya, post: 2547385, member: 19615&quot;]Note though that there are a handful of <i>serrate </i>examples known of Crawford 407/2, the top coin in your examples. Here&#039;s one from Gemini II:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://pro.coinarchives.com/70548b1a234ca5dd9b8fa1f0456eac0c/img/gemini/002/image00239.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Almost certainly, this is a mint error, the flip-side of your Q. Antonius Balbus non-serrate piece. Crawford was aware of one such piece, from Leu 2. I briefly commented in the Gemini catalogue: <i>This is a rare serrate variety of Cr-407/2, a few examples of which have appeared in trade. The existence of these &quot;error&quot; coins conclusively rules out Sydenham&#039;s suggested attribution of the serrate and non-serrate coins of C. Hosidius Geta to separate mints</i>.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve always wanted one of these; I was the underbidder in Gemini and on at least one other occasion. Next time...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
