<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 5387029, member: 101855&quot;]The term “tribute penny” gets thrown around a lot with respect to the Tiberius Denarius pieces. Is there a true tribute penny variety, or can it apply to all of the pieces with Tiberius on the obverse and his mother, Livia, on the reverse?</p><p><br /></p><p>I purchased this piece as a “tribute penny.” It has the proper wording for a Sear variety 1763 which is the tribute penny, yet the portrait is different from any other piece I have seen offered with that attribution.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1231229[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse: Ti Caesar Divi Avg F Avgvstvs &quot;Tiberius Caesar adopted by Augustus&quot; NOTE the words are read counter-clockwise. Reverse: Livia seated holding a scepter and olive branch. Pontif Maxim &quot;Highest priest.&quot; Attributed to the Lugdumum Mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is this a &quot;tribute penny?&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>NOTE &quot;Tribute penny&quot; is applied to a coin mentioned in the Bible, Mathew 22, 17-21, &quot;Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar&#039;s and to God the things that are God&#039;s.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
