OK, the Leg XX Denarius by PalMax Collections sold for $81, a full 20% below a C Note. Still there are others due to close in the next day or so that as of now are running somewhat cheaper. We'll see.

Sorry didn't see your post JW. That is better than a C note for sure. I have no doubt you'll find one in that price range. We'll see what that group of 'Galley's' go for here in a couple of days. Thanks my friend!

Don't count your set complete without a 200th anniversary special. Who would like to show off by explaining why the obverse legends above the ship were not copied directly from the originals?  |

Yeah JW. Although $46 was a good price, that one was maybe a bit less detailed than what I had in mind. But I get your point. Considerably less than 100 bucks.
dougsmit, are you saying this one is a fake? It looks pretty real to me. Very detailed though. Too much?

Well the XII went for 90 bucks JW. I was soooo tempted to go with that C note, but didn't. Then the III was going for 130 and I was soooo tempted to bid 150, and didn't. It went for 148 bucks.
Well, I didn't let that old adrenaline get to me this time, although it was close.
I was actually looking for either the V, X, XII or XV. As these were the legions that sieged Jerusalem in 70 AD under Titus. Biblical thing. I know that those legions and the legions were 100 years apart, but....
So we still have a few weeks to go to find me a nice one under $75 my friend!

Yay! I just joined your club I got a Leg-12 or 13 hard to tell, my wife called me and told me my EagleStick Boat coin came in. I paid 38.85 shipped. I am at work now but the listing has ANT AVG III VIR R P C - Galley right, banner at prow right. Rev.- Two standards with eagle between them. Patrae mint: 32-31 BC = SEAR RCV I (2000), 1479, page 283 - RRC 544

I'm still partial to these coins. Even the worn ones. It is hard to tell exactly which legion, but the history of these is pretty darn clear. I believe it may be hard to find other coins where the history is as clear. Congrats on your acquisition.  |

Just a few days ago I added a Mark Anthony Legion II Denarius to my collection. I bought it from a reputable coin dealer as I am just starting out in collecting Ancient Coins. What I like about this coin is the relative strength of the design as well as the iridescent sheen in the recesses of the coin. This made me overlook the obvious "off centre strike on the obverse. It is a real little "gem" in my collection  I have attached some pics of the Denarius. How common is this iridescence in ancient coins? Squire  |
