Nice photos, the only one I see that would warrant the grading fees would be the 1881 cc. However I personally wouldnt submit it, not much of a price jump from ungraded to grades ms61-ms64. The value would start to jump around a ms65 & up. However I dont believe your coin has any chance at a ms65. Would not crack any of the gsa's out as mentioned above. If you have a shop nearby you could maybe use their membership & send along with one of their submissions if you want to save on the fees. I personally prefer PCGS to Ngc.

Thanks everyone!

Looks like there may have been something previously attached to the center of the reverse. Maybe a loop but the coin is too large to be made into a button. Maybe something that turned the coin into a brooch pin to be worn on a lapel.
Interesting, that might be it! |

I've always been a distant admirer of ancients, specifically the Shekel of Tyre, Athena Owl, Greek Tortoise, and others. However, due to their pricey nature & my ongoing collecting projects I've never decided to purchase one. But the other day I decided to slightly dip my toe into the ancient's world (and I'm a sucker for these ANACS holders  ) & purchased this Denarius. Got it off of the ol fee bay for $110, I really don't know if thats a good price or a huge overpay, but I like the coin. However I really don't know much about it, so thoughts / history or a link to an online resource would be much appreciated.

| I have very little interest in the jefferson nickel series, however I find the proof war nickels interesting & so purchased 2 of them. I think they ran me around $100-$120 each for a pf65 ogh & a pf66 pcgs. I don't see myself getting anymore of the proof series. Would much rather finish my proof mercury set. |

! I've always liked the libertads, but do tend to prefer the older design. I also really enjoy the scale design.
