<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andrew McCabe, post: 3781847, member: 90666&quot;]Later coins of Luceria, near Herdonia and Canusium, from c.210BC to c.206BC. This and my next post (earlier coins of Luceria and Herdonia) is probably the most coherent group of Luceria-type coins assembled. A good group of coins makes the division into mints etc much more apparent. This is why it is good to form collections, to study. I did have more variants, sold, and now regretted.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some notable coins:</p><p>- First three coins: Luceria. Next six coins: mint near Herdonia. Final 10 coins with P and CA mintmarks: Canusium (cf. McCabe, proc. International Numismatic Congress 2015, for derivation of mint locations)</p><p>- RRC 97/22a L mintmarked is much rarer with reverse mintmark than obverse. Many with obverse mintmark in crude style were struck in Canusium</p><p>- RRC 97/17 semis is overstruck on post-semilibral triens, not listed by Crawford or Hersh</p><p>- The two 97/19 quadrans varieties, one with reverse mintmark, one without (not in Crawford) are struck from same obverse dies</p><p>- The 97/20 sextans on huge flan is likely struck over 97/7a uncia. It is from the Elvira E. Clain-Stefanelli collection</p><p>- note Dextans and Quincunx denominations P mintmark. All P mintmark coins were struck in Canusium (not per RRC)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1010051[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1010052[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Crawford 97/13a Quadrans Obv: hd Hercules r, ooo under Rev: prow r, ROMA above, L r, ooo below.
