<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikey Zee, post: 2251070, member: 72818&quot;]This &#039;high grade&#039;, well-struck and centered example naturally caught my eye....and with its &#039;superb surfaces&#039;, it seemed &#039;too good to be true&#039;. My attempts to determine its authenticity were inconclusive, so I requested easily accessible &#039;expert&#039; help to determine the actual genuineness of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>For &#039;fun&#039; and &#039;educational purposes,&#039; I&#039;d like to solicit your opinions about this &#039;terrific looking&#039; denarius. In a day or two, I will post the determinations of the &#039;experts&#039; I contacted. The attributions appear to be:</p><p><br /></p><p>AR Denarius of Vespasian, 80-81 AD</p><p>Rome Mint, 2.91 grams, 17 mm</p><p>Laureate head right; DIVVUS AUGVSTVS VESPASIANVS</p><p>S.C. inscribed on shield, supported by two Capricorns; orb with crosshatching below</p><p>RIC 357/RIC(1962)63[ATTACH=full]445498[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, feel free to post your examples for comparison and/or any &#039;type&#039; with Capricorn, Goats or even sheep (?).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
