<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 4525292, member: 110226&quot;]After rummaging through the boxes last night, and giving up, I was able to locate my other cast Roman Republic coin, a quadrans from 280-276 BC.&nbsp; I did have a Janus head cast aes, but I think I sold it back in 1992 when I was raising funds to make the down payment on our house.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin, as with the cast aes grave that I posted yesterday, came by way of Harlan J Berk, in the late 1990s.&nbsp; It appears that a group of these coins hit the market around 1996-97, so I decided to buy one at $600, a lot of money to spend on a coin at that time since I was just newly hired following over two years of unemployment, but I think it was a good expenditure.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anonymous Aes Grave</p><p>Rome, 280-276 BC</p><p>Quadrans, 76.72 grams</p><p>Cr-14/4, Syd-11, TV-4</p><p>Haeberlin pl. 40, 1</p><p>Obv.
