[QUOTE="Fugio1, post: 3231412, member: 89970"]I agree this is probably a die engraver’s error. Sorry if this is a bit of a detour, but here goes… The Aufidius XVI coins (even without the error) are among the rarest of the five series listed by Crawford in RRC that used the XVI mark of value listed by Crawford in RRC. They usually bring very high prices at auction, and I’ve yet to own one. Coins of C. Titini and L.Iulia are much more obtainable and often in high grade. This has always been interesting series to me because of its explicit turning point in the re-tariffing of the denarius. Four moneyers produced coins with the XVI unit, L.

A few years ago, an example of RRC 232, CN GELI was discovered with the XVI unit instead of X. Since then, two other examples have been found, from at least two different obverse dies. This makes 6 issues using this re-tariffed XVI denomination unit. [ATTACH=full]843899[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]843900[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
