<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 2557986, member: 75525&quot;]Good thread idea! I have one, same as op coin, and would like a couple more. This is one of my first RR coins. I bought this one from an Ed Wadell auction in October of 2007.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]550910[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]550911[/ATTACH] </p><p>Roman Republican Silver Denarius, Serrated </p><p>Mint – Rome; Date 63 BC (Harlin proposes 60 BC)</p><p>Issued by - Lucius Cassius Longinus, The moneyer was pro-cos in 48 BC </p><p>Cr - 413 / 1; Obv.

I attempted to grade the coin per grading systems proposed by Doug Smith and Calgary Coins. Also I attempted to do statistical analysis of coin weights and not buy one outside of the normal for a coin. This one was the second lightest example I found, but was well inside 3 sigma. If I could insert a table, I would attach the data here. (If someone knows how, let me know.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
