Roman Coins and Their Values, volume 1, Millennium EditionRoman Coins and Their Values, the Republic and the Twelve Caesars 280 B.C. - 96 A.D., by David R. Sear, 2000, 532 pages and 1,200+ illustrations with with valuations in £ and $, Hardback
The Millennium Edition makes a radical departure from previous editions. The catalogue entries have been expanded to include a virtually complete listing of the entire Roman Republican series, a more comprehensive coverage of the much larger and more complex Imperial series, greater emphasis on the precise chronology and place of mintage of each type, and extensive coverage to the series of billon and bronze coins struck at Alexandria over a period of more than 300 years.
The valuations have been researched from recent auction records, fixed price catalogues, and many professional numismatists opinions on specific series. The number of photographic illustrations in the text has been increased and their quality improved, leading to a need to divide the work into a multi-volume format.
The Millennium Edition is of a much greater value both as a source of information and as a comprehensive work of reference for this vast and complex series.

Augustus - [RIC 86a, BMC 41, CBN 1132, Cohen 19]Silver denarius, 3.13g, 18.44mm, 90 degree, Colonia Patricia mint, 19 B.C.
Obv. - CAESAR AVGVSTVS, bare head right
Rev. - SIGNIS RECEPTIS, Aquila on left and standard on right flanking S P Q R arranged around shield inscribed CL V
A superb piece with a particularly beautiful portrait and an attractive tone.
This famous and historically important denarius of Augustus commemorates the reconquest of the legionary eagles from the Parthians. These signa where lost, when Crassus was defeated at the battle of Carrhae and their return back to Rome was one of the greatest diplomatic successes Augustus had.
The CL V on the reverse of this issue represents the clipeus virtutis, which was - according to the Res Gestae Divi Augusti, the funerary inscription giving the achievements of Augustus - a golden shield displayed in the Curia Iulia that was given to Augustus by the Senate and the Roman people (Senatus PopulusQue Romanus) in commemoration of his virtue, piety, justice and clemency. Even though it seems to be obvious that Augustus must have been awarded the shield right after he achieved absolute power and declared the restoration of the Republic, Sydenham suggests "that there is no decisive evidence as to the exact date at which the golden shield was conferred, but the coins on which it is represented are of later date than the year BC 27". When, in 19 BC, the Parthians returned the standards they had captured from Crassus in 53, there would have been an excellent opportunity to once again recall Augustus' pietas, one of the virtues recorded on the clipeus.

1795- MoFM Mexico Spanish Colonial 8 Reales of Charles IIII - [KM-109 -- Charles IIII]Chopmarked, 0.7797 ounce silver 8 Reales (also known as the pillar dollar), 26.65g, 39.62mm, 0 degree, Mexico City, Mexico Mint [Mo -- small 'o' set over a large 'M'], 179[5]
Obv. - • CAROLUS IIII • DEI • GR[ATIA] •, laureate bust of Charles IIII right
Rev. - • HISPAN • ET IND • REX • Mo • 8R • F • M •, coat of arms of Spain
This coin was sold as a 1794 chopmarked 8 Reale. Upon inspection in hand under high magnification and different lighting conditions, as well as inspection of large, quality pictures on the computer allowing for color/contrast/levels manipulation, and I have determined this coin to actually be from 1795. The '5', although extremely worn is visible under the correct conditions and comparisons of the worn number morphology to other 179x coins lends credence to this finding.
The reverse is just as interesting and challenging. Although the mintmark is almost completely worn off, the assayer of FM ensures that the coin is of Mexico City, Mexico mintmark.
The coat of arms of Spain, a crown crown flanked by columns and a middle shield includes the national motto PLVS VLTRA spread across the two columns. PLVS VLTRA (PLUS ULTRA) translates to "further beyond." It is adopted from the personal motto of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor (and King of Spain as Charles I) and is a Latin translation from Plus Oultre, his original motto in Old French.
Although this coin is quite worn in certain areas, it has a lovely tone and great character. The numerous different chopmarks just add to the appeal. This coins was bought as a conversation piece as I have always found them interesting, albeit with knowing next to nothing concerning them. However, after doing some research, I have come to appreciate it much more and may follow suite with further additions. In any case, I plan on further reading into the subject area.

Rev. - SALVS AVG; Salus seated left, holding patera in extended right hand
Salus is depicted twice on Vespasian denarii. This example, with the longer COS IIII obverse legend, is the rarer of the two types.
The obverse portrait on this example is extraordinarily realistic, capturing a life-like personification of the emperor. The reverse braided hairstyle of Salus is also of note, as it does not appear to be the typical depiction for these coins.
There also appears to be some minor die clogging on the reverse in ex.
