MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1569 Posts	Posted 03/15/2013 09:22 am Hi guys, another one for you to help me with! approx 25mm diameter. Is it Augustus? Coin type? Value?

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/15/2013 12:05 pm I believe it's Augustus, there isn't enough detail to say what the reverse is though. Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3446 Posts	Posted 03/15/2013 2:17 pm Almost certainly an As. It looks like a DIVVS AVGVSTVS type. The portrait resembles the restitution types issued by Titus and Nerva. I would almost be ready to bet on a Nerva restitution type. As luck would have it I happen to have one at hand ! Notice not only the highly idealized portrait of Augustus but the engraver has gone to some length to impart a family resemblance between the two. Thankfully they didn't give Augustus a proboscis that we associate with Nerva but they did make an effort to show 'familia' Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3446 Posts	Posted 03/16/2013 07:34 am As for value ..... It is kinda rough around the edges. But it is a recognizable larger sized portrait of 'Auggie'. On a good day it 'might' fetch $20 on ebay even without the reverse. Certainly worth more than a ten spot ! Report this Post to the Staff
