A beautifully toned denarius of Julius Caesar
« on: April 22, 2016, 07:11:37 pm »
Here is the most recent addition to my collection.  

A common coin but always in demand, I've been looking for the elusive "right one" for a while. The toning and detail on this example was perfect for my taste. In hand, the tongue of the serpent is clearly visible. The Sear certificate that came with it notes two punch marks, I count five.

It is a nice compliment to my Pig Style elephant:

And my flip-over double strike elephant:
