[QUOTE="Nicholas Molinari, post: 3106183, member: 78411"]I was fortunate to be the winner of this coin, which I believe is unique. It appears to share an obverse die with the other variety I have, also unique, second picture, but with a different reverse (no letters between legs or in exergue on the new coin). [ATTACH=full]787076[/ATTACH] Here’s my other, described as a possible Samnite imitation of a Campania bronze. [ATTACH=full]787082[/ATTACH] Perhaps my new coin is an official variety from Suessa, like this unique coin from the Weber collection: [ATTACH=full]787083[/ATTACH] All this makes the second coin posted all the more interesting.
