<p>[QUOTE=&quot;happy_collector, post: 7983337, member: 100070&quot;]I am happy to find two bargain coins during this month of October. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I posted about my RR snake biga in CT last week. In addition to that, I am glad to pickup this Augustus and Agrippa coin as well. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1385396[/ATTACH] </p><p>Augustus and Agrippa (27 BC-14 AD). </p><p>Æ As (25mm, 10.40g, 9h). </p><p>Gaul, Nemausus, c. 9/8-3 BC. </p><p>Obv: Heads of Agrippa left, and Augustus right, back to back. </p><p>Rev: Crocodile right, chained to palm frond; wreath with long ties above. </p><p>RPC I 524; RIC I 158. </p><p><br /></p><p>Although this coin type is not on my lookout list, I&#039;ll usually take a second look when another CT member brings up a good example. Probably because of the rich history behind the coin. At just a little over $80, I like the light bronze color (river patina?) and OK details, including the crocodile chain. </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin has arrived, and it looks better than I thought. Maybe I&#039;ll look for a better example sometime next year, since my 2021 coin budget is basically all used up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
