<Our item number 110257><B>AR Denar &#40;2.23g&#41; attributed to year 3 &#40;134/5 C.E.&#41;. Cf. Mild reverse die 120. Hen-<B>734 var</B>.</B> Blank &#40;vestiges of host coin&#39;s portrait visible&#41;. <I>Reverse: </I> Kithara with three strings. <B>Striking crack, resulting in a small natural hole; Very Fine.</B> Most likely, the only one of its kind known. <BR><BR>A most unusual error. The grape obverse die &#40;lower one&#41; had not been inserted and therefore the flan was solely restruck by the upper or reverse die. Since this reverse die, Mild die #120, was paired with both obverse dies 22 and 24, we are unsure if this partial striking should be described as Mild 186 or 208. A most fascinating coin! <BR>Estimated Value &#36;700-1,100. <BR><BR>Our item number 110257<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/41jpegs/110257.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/41jpegs/110257N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
