<p>[QUOTE=&quot;akeady, post: 2862682, member: 83175&quot;]Here are a few in that range - the images are from the vendors.</p><p><br /></p><p>$345 from CNG last year - Crawford 309/1 denarius - I liked the reverse of Sol riding his chariot up from the sea at dawn.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s a bit rough, through corrosion and die rust.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/coins/lg_Manlia1Denarius.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Crawford 428/2 denarius - £350 in 2015 from Roma.&nbsp;&nbsp; This lay in a drawer for a year after arriving - I think its arrival coincided with a cleaning spurt and it and another coin were mislaid and forgotten about until I was looking for something else.&nbsp;&nbsp; Anyway, I won&#039;t forget her again:</p><p><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/coins/lg_Cassia8Denarius.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>$478 (OK, this is slightly over $450, but that includes the premium) from CNG last year, ex Tom Cederlind estate - Crawford 494/37:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/coins/lg_VibiusVarusDenari.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is still in the post! - £419 including premium - Crawford 514/2.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s a rare denarius of C. Numonius Vaala.&nbsp;&nbsp; The reverse probably recounts an ancestor&#039;s valiant act of being the first man over the wall in an attack on a fortification.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s not in great condition - I dithered and didn&#039;t buy a better one last year which went for twice as much (?) at auction and later showed up in a retail venue @ £1000 and sold while I looked at it and my bank balance.&nbsp;&nbsp; Anyway, I have one now, I can upgrade someday if I win the lottery.&nbsp;&nbsp; Ex. E.E Clain-Stefanelli collection.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://navilleauction.auctionserver.net/images/lot/2283/22831_0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>ATB,</p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
