wwhitman Pillar of the Community United States 1415 Posts	Posted 06/09/2008 7:12 pm I have checked around and have not been able to identify this coin. I think it is Greek, but probably I am in the wrong commercial. Any help would be appreciated in identification!

Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 06/09/2008 8:56 pm You're close, but the "Latin" letters on obverse and reverse give this one away as being Roman. This one is actually from the Republic period, 41 BC, just before the coinage became fully "imperatorial". Here's an example sold on FORVM. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

wwhitman Pillar of the Community United States 1415 Posts	Posted 06/10/2008 09:05 am Sap, I checked my Sear series on Roman coins and could not find this example. Hopefully I will become better acquainted with identification. I have a lot to learn. THANX again for your assistance Report this Post to the Staff

CV (2000) in VF given as US$128. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.
