AUGUSTUS, 27 B.C.- A.D. 14. AR Denarius (3.43 gms), Pergamum Mint, 27 B.C. NGC AU, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 3/5. Fine Style. Scratch.
RIC-475; RSC-28. Obverse: Bare head right; Reverse: Bull standing right. A majestic portrayal of the new emperor of Rome, as well as a forceful and stoic representation of a bull, this silver issue presents a great, well centered strike, along with a rather alluring cabinet tone. A light 'v'-shaped scratch in the obverse field is all that stands in the way of an even higher surfaces designation.
Ex: Kuenker 68 (10/2001) Lot # 633.
Estimate: $3000.00- $4500.00
