<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 5446795, member: 110350"]Thanks. All I can say is "Wow." Too rich for my blood, but they're gorgeous. I wonder what the mintage was on these restored Republican issues, and how much they actually circulated. It appears that my assumption that they're very rare was correct. I'd like to imagine that they mostly ended up in the hands of the proto-numismatists of the day. After all, whoever engraved the dies must have had access to well-preserved examples of the original Republican issues. They're way too close for that not to be the case. (I believe the theory that the actual old Republican dies had been preserved and were re-used has gotten little or no support.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
