Johndakerftw Valued Member Canada 93 Posts	Posted 03/03/2015 1:37 pm Hi everyone, My brother seems to have been crossed over to the dark side and has just bought his third (I think) ancient coin. As a big sister, I am very proud and just wanted to show it off. It's an Augustus denarius from the Lugdunum mint. I think it's been labeled as an alternative to the Tiberius denarius as the Tribute Penny somewhere. :) Thanks! Erin Report this Post to the Staff

This is a nice example that should be shown off Hopefully you will catch Ancient fever too. Edited by Augustus Maximus 03/03/2015 7:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Johndakerftw Valued Member Canada 93 Posts	Posted 03/04/2015 08:16 am Thank everybody. My brother is really happy with it, especially at the price he paid, $100. Don't worry, Augustus, I caught the ancient bug about a year ago :D. I'm sorry to hear about your coin, chuy. What happened to it? Erin Report this Post to the Staff
chuy1530 Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 03/04/2015 6:26 pm I wish I knew, I bought it that way. The guy I bought it from had gotten it that way in an estate sale so the previous owner isn't around to ask. I imagine it must have broken in modern times for both pieces to be together, but it was cheap and I didn't have an Augustus denarius so I hopped on it. Report this Post to the Staff
