Current bid is $77k. http://romanumismatics.com/auction/lot/422 It's a nice looking coin, better than the one that sold in February. Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 04/05/2018 09:58 am I'd love to own one of those, but unless I win a million bucks in the lotto, I suspect I never will It's fun to window shop, though! If I'm not mistaken, I believe only a handful of those are known to exist? I wouldn't be surprised if bidding went up over $100k. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 04/05/2018 8:28 pm From the auction notes: Quote: Herbert A. Cahn's 1989 study entitled Eidibus Martiis noted 56 examples in silver and two in gold. Though anecdotal comments suggest the extent of the surviving population of EID MAR denarii may approximate as many as one hundred specimens - a reasonably high figure for what is considered to be an extreme rarity - no other ancient coin type has inspired such admiration, fascination, disbelief and desire in the hearts of historians, numismatists and collectors.
