<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 4531945, member: 75525&quot;]I agree, the RR bronze collection was amazing. I do not remember seeing that much detail on RR bronze in one auction. It was hard for me to tell if the coins were smoothed, tooled or in exceptional condition. </p><p>There was one cast Mercury / Prow Left Sextans that interested me. I do not remember seeing one before (but acsearch tells me [USER=90666]@Andrew McCabe[/USER]&nbsp; sold one last year!). I made a strong pre-bid, about 3 X est, and had to make a few live bids to get the coin. This was my first auction win with 19 bids! I hope I did not &quot;steal&quot; it from someone here. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1122426[/ATTACH] </p><p>NAC pic.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]1122429[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1122430[/ATTACH] </p><p>pics from Haeberlin - none of the pics match, but his #8 on pg 55 (Hirsch Cat V, 185) has the same wt</p><p><br /></p><p>Roman Republic Cast Sextans circa 225-217, Æ</p><p>Obv - Head of Mercury l.; below, two pellets.</p><p>Rev - Prow l.; below, two pellets.</p><p>46.23 grams = 277 gram equivalent Ass</p><p><br /></p><p>You can read a bit more here - </p><p><a href="http://rrdenarius.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rrdenarius.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">rrdenarius.blogspot.com</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
