I went to the ANA's "World's Fair of Money" show in Chicago this week. There were quite a few ancient coin dealers there. I saw an amazing amount of gorgeous ancients with price tags ranging from $10,000 to $275,000.

My price range was a bit more modest. I decided to buy this lovely anonymous Republican denarius. I mostly collect Roman Imperial, so this was a different kind of purchase for me, my first Republican coin.

The dealer sold it to me for less than the price on the flip.

Thanks for offering a place where I can share it with other collectors.

I would guess it's VF. I bought it for the eye-appeal and not necessarily the grade.

I paid $265 for it. I only found one other example on VCoins:

Oooh that is a nice one @paul. I appreciate you including the description as I was struggling to figure out exactly was going on on the rev from just the picture.
