[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3143731, member: 56859"]I took the remaining Tiberius denarius. I'm irrationally annoyed by the "tribute penny" designation and cost of these things but felt that the type belongs in a generalist collection and the hoard pedigree makes me feel better about having one :D. Of the few remaining I looked up the moneyers and history surrounding them and opted for the Licinius Nerva denarius. It was between this and a P. Clodius Apollo/Diana denarius, which actually has more eye appeal. It's still available along with a Claudius Pulcher Roma/triga denarius and a Papirius Carbo Roma/quadriga denarius. I think those are the only three Quidenham hoard coins remaining. Heck, I may as well show them here.
