Roman Provincial, Ionia, Ephesus, Augustus and Livia

27 BC- AD 14
AE 21mm, 1h
Asklas and Euphron, magistrates.

O: Conjoined heads of Augustus and Livia right

R: Stag standing right; bowcase above.

Ref: RPC I 2591; SNG Copenhagen 360.

Note: Light green patina. In NGC encapsulation 5872734-031, graded VF. A couple of interesting things about this one, this is to this day the least expensive coin I have ever bought at auction. ANS probably lost money getting this one encapsulated unless they really got a deal from NCG. And I popped it out of its prison as soon as I got it. I did keep the little NCG tag in case it matters one day and I suspect it will not. The only email ANS has never answered me on was my email asking why they sent all these coins to NCG.

Ex- CNG Keystone 4, Sep 2021; Ex-the Robert W. Bartlett Bequest Sold for the Benefit of the American Numismatic Society, purchased from Louis DiLauro, May 1981.

Well bought! I think the NGC-Bartlett-ANS tag matters already -- great little chapter in the coin's biography!

I love the obverse, and a great pedigree too!
