DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 03/20/2016 09:55 am Not being a massive fan of the Roman coins (there are too many similar coins, too many to complete and I don't feel they have the beauty of Greek coinage) I haven't added any for a while. That's not to say I haven't been keeping my eyes open for something appealing - I know I should have some Dupondius and Sesterces in my collection but that's another story. I have been looking out for a Marc Antony that was affordable yet in good enough condition not to haunt my nightmares. I think I found it in this coin. If anybody a little more knowledgeable than myself wants to chime in and offer any additional information (Year and catalogue number) I would be much obliged. Report this Post to the Staff

DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 03/20/2016 10:50 am Thanks NH, if it is common not sure why they describe it as "rare" but I don't let things like that influence me anyhow. Thanks for the info, I will know what to write on the 2x2 when it arrives :) Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 03/20/2016 11:16 am Nice example. For their historic value as well as relatively easy placement to small date ranges I've always felt these were first class coins. Report this Post to the Staff

Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 03/20/2016 5:20 pm Very nice! These are so often found worn nearly to smooth. A nice coin with good details that is decently well-centered. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff
