<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fugio1, post: 3337503, member: 89970&quot;]Of the early anonymous denarius issues, the most commonly seen are the early RRC 44/5 with splayed visor, believed to be the earliest denari, and RRC 53/2 with peaked visor, a few years later.&nbsp; &nbsp; When attributing anonymous denari, it is often good to exclude these two large groups because most likely these are what you have.&nbsp; Style is the main determining factor and Crawford used style to differentiate these issues in RRC but because style is usually difficult to articulate, we look for key ornamental givaways.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=93702]@Clavdivs[/USER] your example is of the somewhat more scarce anonymous variation of the dolphin series,&nbsp; <a href="http://stevebrinkman.ancients.info/anonymous/index.html#H80-1b" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://stevebrinkman.ancients.info/anonymous/index.html#H80-1b" rel="nofollow">RRC 80/1b</a>.&nbsp; For this issue, the 4+ hair locks (instead of 3 for most 53/2 varieties) and the cape style suggest this is Cr. 80.</p><p>Here is mine:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]884008[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=44132]@Bing[/USER], Your example is attributed correctly as RRC 46/1.&nbsp; All 46/1&#039;s are difficult to find and are very scarce, but your variety <a href="http://stevebrinkman.ancients.info/anonymous/index.html#H46-1(b)" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://stevebrinkman.ancients.info/anonymous/index.html#H46-1(b)" rel="nofollow">46/1(b)</a> is just plain rare.&nbsp; The cape style is characteristic for all 46/1 variations.&nbsp; Unfortunately the 46/1(b) 3 pendant earring appears to be obscured on your coin by the flan crack but the obverse style is unmistakable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
