<p>[QUOTE="Mike Margolis, post: 3024909, member: 88401"]The seller attributed this coin to RIC 528. It has the IMP AUGUST legend on the obverse but it has a wreath of ten bundles of leaves on the back. All I could find have the eight leaves on the wreath. I found one coin with the ten leaved wreath but with only the AUGUST legend on the obverse. Is this coin still attributed correctly to RIC-528? </p><p>(Wildwinds has been down again for me lately.) This is a larger issue than the more common ones although I know it is in bad shape, it is Augustus and wasn't too expensive for a pretty hefty one.[ATTACH=full]752799[/ATTACH]</p><p>Augustus</p><p>Syria, Antioch Mint 27BC-14 AD</p><p>Obverse: Laureate head of Augustus right</p><p>Reverse: SC in linear circle in laurel wreath</p><p>References: RIC 528</p><p>Size: 30mm, 15.22g</p><p>(posted in remembrance of one of the most significant days in Roman and world history- March, 15th 44 BCE)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
