Welcome @wajobrer. You will get a better response if you post this coin in it's own thread. Easy to do.

I doubt the coin is authentic, but I'm not certain. Where did you get it from and, if it's not too intrusive, how much did you pay?

 

Yes, what was the price?

 

I bought one of these Tiberius issues two months ago. Not as nice as those posted by Eng and Drusus, but one that shows decent detail. Its off-center strike is probably why it was in my price range. Part of me wishes I had waited a bit and ponied up an extra $50-75 for a better quality version. I guess it's always a tradeoff between quality coins vs. quantity. I'm trying to discipline myself to prefer the former.

 

Doug is this the type you are referring to ""waist up"" ?

 

No, this is just a 2nd type centered low. This is the earlier one. He does not pull on the bow.

 

Nice Tiberius @Eng ! Well done.

I have ALSO heard that this Augustus COULD be a Tribute Penny too...

My Tiberius is a AE As, and not an AR Denarius:

And, I do like my Siglos:

The Daric is a Target of mine...

 

Very nice!
