What is your opinion on this Roman Republic denarius (authenticity, has it been tooled, ect ect..) struck between 194-190 BCE Weight-3.62 g All I know about this coin is it was valued a ten asses instead of sixteen. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 11/19/2014 8:21 pm Can't see anything wrong with it. Has a sharp tool been used in cleaning? Maybe, there seem to be traces of that visible in the hair of Roma. Report this Post to the Staff

Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 11/19/2014 8:58 pm I say fine earlier style with honest ware. It has been completely cleaned weight seems consistent with they type. I suppose it now comes down to, what are you looking for in a coin. Are you looking for something with better surfaces, more reverse detail, are you looking for a RR type. The reason why I ask is because there are far more interesting RR coins. Not that this not a nice piece but there are so many of these RR with a basic ROMA obverse with and Mounted Unit reverse you could probably do better with the same money. I would suggest looking for the more interesting RR coins and then making the necessary concessions. (Budget vs. condition/rarity/appeal/type) Report this Post to the Staff

chuy1530 Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 11/20/2014 12:02 am It's a nice example, and I don't see any signs of anything being off about it. I really like Republican denarii and I'd be more than happy to add that one to my collection, especially due to its age. Report this Post to the Staff
