<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2849998, member: 74282&quot;]I&#039;ve found a handful of nicer RR bronzes in this price range and even a few nice silver coins. Here are a few of my favorites:</p><p><br /></p><p>~$107 from a Roma auction a while back after buyers fees. A beautiful early post-semilibral uncia with dolphins at the keel of the galley.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]676177[/ATTACH] </p><p>Roman republic Æ Uncia(7.81g, 22mm, 3h), anonymous &quot;post-semilibral&quot; series. 215-212 BC. Head of Roma right, wearing attic helmet; to left, • / Prow right; above, ROMA; below, •. McCabe Group A1; Crawford 41/10</p><p>Ex Thersites collection</p><p><br /></p><p>$90 from a dealer who occasionally finds me nice RR bronzes at what I consider to be good prices. A nice for the type quadrans of the moneyer Pinarius Natta.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]676180[/ATTACH] </p><p>Roman Republic Æ quadrans(6.80g). &quot;NAT&quot; series(Pinarius Natta?), 155 B.C. Rome mint. Head of young Hercules right, wearing lion&#039;s skin headdress, ••• behind / NAT, prow of galley right, ••• below. ROMA below.

While this coin is somewhat corroded and has some unsightly deposits, the fact that both heads of Janus are there and relatively well defined and the coin is overall well centered was what attracted me to it. The provenance is a nice bonus.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]676186[/ATTACH] </p><p>Roman Republic Æ as(30 mm, 27.09g). SAFRA(Spurius Afranius?), moneyer, 150 B.C. Rome mint.
