    US only due to previous issues sending valuable coins overseas. Selling a handful of different coins which no longer fit my collecting interests. Shipping is $3 for USPS first class in a bubble mailer at buyer's risk. Priority mail, insurance, etc. can be done at cost. Buy over $200 worth and I will ship them insured for free. All coins guaranteed authentic for eternity and if any are found to be inauthentic I will give a full refund including return shipping costs.

    Also note: I am open to trades for Roman Republican coins and I'm open to best offers(especially if buying multiple coins) as well

    Danubian Celts, imitating Roman Republic AR(possible Fouree) denarius (17 mm, 2.90 g). After 105 BC. Hybrid of obverse imitating L. Thorius Balbus(Crawford 316/1, 105 BC) and reverse imitating M Aemilius M. f. Lepidus(Crawford 291/1, 114/3 BC). Head of Juno Sospita with goatskin headdress right, behind IISWK downwards / Equestrian statue standing right on triumphal arches, ILIO right, LEP within arches. Cf. Crawford 316/1 & Crawford 291/1 This was previously slabbed choice VF by NGC and they did not believe it to be a fouree, but I believe that it is. In the small hole on the obverse you can see in-hand that there is a hollow void in the coin where it looks as if some bronze has corroded away. Nonetheless, this is a really cool imitative, and as far as I can tell, unique. SOLD
