<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carausius, post: 2503982, member: 76440&quot;]Here are the two, slabbed auction lots received in yesterday&#039;s mail.</p><p><br /></p><p>The bronze:</p><p>Rome, The Republic. Bird and Rudder Series, 206-195 B.C.&nbsp; AE As (39.58 grams; 35 mm). Rome mint. Obv: Janus bust; I (mark of value) above. Rev: Prow right; bird and rudder above; I (mark of value) before; ROMA&nbsp; below.&nbsp; Crawford 117B/1. Ex Jonathan Kern Collection. A common type, but in uncommonly nice condition (I would conservatively grade it good VF, rather than the chXF bestowed by NGC).</p><p><br /></p><p>The silver:</p><p>Rome, The Republic. Sextus Pompey, 42-39 BC. Uncertain Sicilian mint. AR Denarius (3.87 grams; 21 mm). Obv: Bust of Neptune right with trident over shoulder. Rev: Naval trophy. Ex RBW Collection (NAC 63, Lot 538); purchased privately by RBW from SKA Zurich, July 1985.&nbsp; Offstruck and incomplete as usual for the type, but this a particularly sharp example.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]531734[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]531735[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
