<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 678976, member: 19463&quot;]I might be wrong but I am assuming you are looking for a &#039;Tribute Penny&#039; since you mention having <i>two</i> widow&#039;s mites and give dates that would fit. That means you will not want an Antony legionary since they have no portrait that could be called Caesar. Christian demand has pushed the price up on the common Tiberius denarius whether or not you believe that it is the appropriate coin for that duty. The only common and reasonably priced portrait denarius in your period is Augustus with the Gaius and Lucius reverse. Again, Christian interest pushes it up a bit since he was the Emperor that ordered the census that resulted in the trip to Bethleham and he is one of the biggest names in Roman history. I&#039;d doubt you will find much in the way of a portrait denarius from your date range under $100 unless you go for a damaged coin (a hole would help). The other possibility would be a contemporary plated counterfeit (fourree) but nice ones of these even draw some money. We are considerably over the price under discussion. I&#039;d warn any coin you see offered at a &#039;too good&#039; price will almost certainly be a fake.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
