I sold them all to buy rarer coins. It however includes many great rarities in bronze.</p><p>Some notable coins:</p><p>- RRC 241 variety Lucius Trebanius uncia is a type not in Crawford, and is perhaps the finest of the few known examples</p><p>- RRC 247/3 Publius Calpurnius quadrans has a complete ship on reverse - stern to prow with all relevant people and equipment on deck. Very rare, it used to be owned by Brad Thurlow, the aes grave expert</p><p>- RRC 247/1 denarius of the same series has one of the most wonderful portraits of Roma I ever recall seeing. It was expensive for such a common coin &gt; Martina Dieterle pointed me towards the coin and said I really must buy it.</p><p>- RRC 249/3 Publius Maeanius Antiaticus quadrans was bought from Herbert Cahn - Münzhandlung Basel on 22 Nov.1935. There&#039;s a very high chance tho unprovable that it came from the collection of Christian August Prince of Waldeck and Pyrmont 1744-1798 whose collection with a strong focus on Roman Republican coins was sold by Cahn / Basel in the mid 1930s</p><p>- RRC 249 Publius Maeanius Antiaticus uncia is also very rare</p><p>- RRC 253/3 Lucius Opeimius quadrans has a very rare reverse type, Hercules club in wreath</p><p>- most all the other &#039;ordinary&#039; bronze types are significant rarities. Yes, I&#039;m missing a lot of silver in this period. Don&#039;t care. They would drag down the quality and rarity of what&#039;s left</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1015123[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1015126[/ATTACH]</p><p>Details of the coin types and their provenances are listed below the Flickr image here:</p><p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ahala_rome/48962006868/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ahala_rome/48962006868/" rel="nofollow">https://www.flickr.com/photos/ahala_rome/48962006868/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>My coin pictures and website are here:</p><p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ahala_rome/collections" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ahala_rome/collections" rel="nofollow">https://www.flickr.com/photos/ahala_rome/collections</a></p><p><a href="http://andrewmccabe.ancients.info/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://andrewmccabe.ancients.info/" rel="nofollow">http://andrewmccabe.ancients.info/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
