<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2305823, member: 26302&quot;]Augustus was a coin fancier of Greek coins but no evidence suggests he did anything special with Roman coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, I go back to the original intent of proof, that is to prove a die. Many ancient mints had to prove the die with the first couple of strikes to the mintmaster. Additionally, special presentation coins have been known for centuries. By definition, these all essentially would have been proofs. Athenian octodrachms would have been one such coin. Made only for presentation, and not circulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
