JPK Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Hi,is anyone able to give me an approx.value on this denarius,I can't seem to find one that's been sold,it has never been cleaned btw,thanks for any help. Quote
Peckris Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Spink doesn't list individual types for Roman - just one 'typical' coin for each denomination per emperor etc. The listing for Mark Antony doesn't feature your particular denarius but unless it's a rare type, the value in Fine is £50 and VF £125.I am surprised that's Mark Antony though? The obverse legend unmistakeably says ANTONIVS and there was no other Antony. However it also says AVG(ustus) IMP(erator), titles that weren't used until Augustus' time, who was still Octavian when M.A. was around. Quote
JPK Posted March 1, 2014 Author Posted March 1, 2014 Thanks for the info peckris,it's def.a Mark Antony,RSC 11,Sear 1485,minted in 31 BC possibly at Actium,I really will have to invest in some decent books. Quote
Peckris Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 He must have used them as unofficial titles then, and Octavian decided to make them official when he became the Emperor Augustus. Quote
TomGoodheart Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) I hesitate to recommend another forum JPK. Usualy it's here I suggest to people looking for info! But we only have a couple of members who specialise in ancients. However, coincomminity forum has a few very knowledgable members interested in that area. Your value might be in dollars, but you might just find they can give you an opinion about the variety? http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=51 Edited March 2, 2014 by TomGoodheart Quote
