<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Volodya, post: 3629143, member: 19615&quot;]I&#039;ve been actively looking for the OP quinarius for decades. It&#039;s amazingly hard to find examples that fit my collection, but they do exist. Since Crawford includes seven varieties of 340/2 and I have precisely <i>none </i>of them, this gap will surely outlive me. </p><p><br /></p><p>Meanwhile, here&#039;s my example of Crawford 73/2 with a dolabella (hatchet) below the twins. This is a genuinely rare coin, missing even in the nearly complete BN collection. I&#039;m loath to use terms like &quot;finest known,&quot; since we have no real idea what&#039;s lurking in unpublished collections public and private, but to my eye this coin is clearly better than any of the handful of examples I&#039;m aware of, so I think it&#039;s fair to put it in the &quot;finest known&quot; discussion anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>Phil Davis</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]973310[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
