Julius Caesar Denarius FDC

(1/3) > >>

kc:
I added a wonderful Caesar Denarius to my gallery. It has a beautiful cabinet tone and is centered perfectly. It comes from an old collection and was sold by Münzen & Medaillen in 1984.

Nice toning and beautiful portrait!  +++

A stunning coin. Please add it to the BOT gallery. There is a similar coin already there but your coin won't be in contention with it because, although the Crawford reference numbers are the same, the Sydenham numbers are different. This is good, there is plenty of room in the gallery for superb coins like these.
