This coin is rated Common by RIC but the market would seem to indicate otherwise. I have not seem many examples of this type come onto the market.

Despite suffering from a partial flat strike leading to flatness at 6 o'clock on the obverse and 12 o'clock on the reverse it is still a quite desirable example of a scarce coin

The coin comes from a short issue made to commemorate Probus travelling through Lugdunum at the start of the summer of A.D. 277 travelling with his army from Asia to battle in the Rhine. maridvnvm

In 1551 Edward VI issued a new fine silver coinage, his previous silver issues having been very debased. The sixpence denomination was first introduced at this time. It was similar to the new shilling above in having a facing portrait of the king with a tudor rose to the left, but the denomination value to the right of the King's portrait was VI on the sixpence instead of the XII seen on the shilling.

C. Countermark: NCAPR on Imitative (?) Claudius Sestertius, stamped under Nero (?)Photo sources (edited): CNG (coin) & A. Kowsky (tag) [LINK]

Prov. Notes: Between 1981 and 2011, Los Angeles-area collector Richard Baker formed one of the best-known and most important private collections of Roman countermark coins. Much of it is published alongside Andreas Pangerl's on his "Museum of Roman Countermarks" website (linked above). Baker published the 1984 article, "Countermarks Found On Ancient Roman Coins: A Brief Introduction," in SAN: Journal of the Society for Ancient Numismatics vol. XV, No. 3 [LINK]. His countermark coll. was sold by CNG over several auctions in 2018 and 2019 (more coins, incl. Greek, Roman, Byzantine without countermarks, appearing through 2022).

Numis. Notes: One of the most common countermarks on Roman Imperial bronzes; also the source of unanswered questions & controversy. "NCAPR" is probably a "validating countermark," indicating that worn Sestertii from previous reigns & certain imitative copies would be sanctioned for continuing use as official currency. (Imitations were especially common & important in the reign of Claudius due to an Empire-wide shortage of bronze coinage in the provinces. This countermark, found on official & unofficial coins alike, shows a policy of open toleration for -- even reliance upon -- such local imitations.)
Most catalogers and authors accept Nero's reign as the period of counter-stamping (whether the "N" is for Nero is less certain). There has been suggestion of a later date based on a single Vespasian AE As with the countermark (probably Pangerl 60h). Such a revision is probably too much weight for a single specimen not widely published, and has not been widely acknowledged.
On the vast majority of coins, the countermark is placed on the obverse, in the field behind the bust. Occasionally, it is found on the reverse (especially for coins w/ no obv. bust). Rarely, it appears in front of the obverse bust.Curtis JJ

Justinian I - RomeJustinian I (527-565). Æ denarius (9 mm, 0.63 g), Rome mint c. 537-546. Obverse: (I)VSTINI-ANVS, diademed bust right. Reverse: Latin version of Justinian's monogram within wreath. Undescribed, similar to MIBE 94 (Rome); Sear 340 (uncertain mint).

I have not found an earlier description of this monogram. It is similar to MIBE 94, which has the same form except that the S is placed below instead of above. The monogram is also similar to those of Athalaric and Theodahad on 2½ nummi minted in Rome 526-536. This type of "A" in the monogram is not found on coins from Ravenna. The byzantine army lead by Belisarius entered Rome in December 536 unopposed by the Ostrogoths. Rome was later besieged and occupied by Baduila in 546 and again reoccupied by Belisarius in 547. In addition, the frontal bust was introduced on Italian copper coins in the late 540s. These facts combined suggest that this coin was minted in Rome during the period from about 537 to 546. Hahn suggests that MIBE 94 belongs to the mid-540s.Jan
