<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2861424, member: 74282&quot;]This price range is mostly outside my reach so my only example in this price range is this denarius of L Hostilius Saserna which I picked up for $368 after fees via CNG earlier this year. Interestingly on most coins of this type the oak branches form a wreath on the head of the obverse but on this one and a handful of other obverse dies the banches completely cover the head.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]681514[/ATTACH] </p><p>Roman Imperatorial period AR denarius(4.04g, 18mm), L Hostilius Saserna, moneyer, 48 B.C., Rome mint.
