<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fugio1, post: 5356740, member: 89970&quot;]I have a fondness of the earliest denarii.&nbsp; To complete my collection of the RRC 44/5 varieties,&nbsp; I need the &quot;limp tail&quot; variety <a href="http://stevebrinkman.ancients.info/anonymous/index.html#44-5-Limp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://stevebrinkman.ancients.info/anonymous/index.html#44-5-Limp" rel="nofollow">Group 7</a> in my website.&nbsp; This is not a rare variety, although not pictured in Crawford&#039;s plates.&nbsp; They are not the most beautiful of the series, and come up in terrible or damaged condition often, but they are rare in nice condition.&nbsp; Also not a rare variety, but one of the prototypes of the earliest anonymous series and quite stylistically beautiful is <a href="http://stevebrinkman.ancients.info/anonymous/index.html#44-5-IX-22" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://stevebrinkman.ancients.info/anonymous/index.html#44-5-IX-22" rel="nofollow">group 5</a>.&nbsp; Nice ones like this from <a href="https://www.sixbid.com/en/numismatica-ars-classica-zurich/245/the-roman-republic/156933/the-roman-republic?term&amp;orderCol=lot_number&amp;orderDirection=asc&amp;priceFrom&amp;displayMode=large&amp;auctionSessions=&amp;sidebarIsSticky=false" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.sixbid.com/en/numismatica-ars-classica-zurich/245/the-roman-republic/156933/the-roman-republic?term&amp;orderCol=lot_number&amp;orderDirection=asc&amp;priceFrom&amp;displayMode=large&amp;auctionSessions=&amp;sidebarIsSticky=false" rel="nofollow">RBW NAC 61</a> command high prices, and are quite rare.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been searching for these types for years, but have never been willing to pay the high prices for the fine examples.&nbsp; It will be interesting to see at the end of 2021 if I will maybe have become less enthusiastic about this series, or be dead, or have acquired these examples.&nbsp; I hope for the latter.&nbsp; Posting pictures here of representative examples:</p><p><br /></p><p>Group 7.&nbsp; Limp Tail:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1227272[/ATTACH] </p><p>Group 5:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1227273[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
