Collection of Imperial silver of Lucius Verus & Lucilla. AD 161-169. AR Denarii. Rome mint. Includes the following: 10 AR denarii of various reverse types (with 5 of Lucius Verus, and 5 of Lucilla). Ten (10) coins in lot. Coins Fine to Good VF, toned. Photos and detailed descriptions available online at http://ak.cngcoins.com.
The A.K. Collection of the coins of the Roman Empire was carefully assembled over several decades with a great deal of thought and commitment. The present selection consists of 423 bronze and silver pieces from the reigns of Antoninus Pius, Marcus Aurelius, Lucius Verus, Faustina Senior, Faustina Junior and Lucilla, and includes both Provincial and Imperial issues. The coins have been divided into the following 14 lots: four lots only contain denarii; seven lots that only contain bronze coins; one lot of Provincial bronzes; and two lots of Alexandrian coins.
The quality of the coins ranges from Fine to Extremely-fine. This interesting collection includes some very rare coins as well as pieces from important collections like those of von Aulock, Dattari, Levis, Nägeli, Steger, Stöcklin, and Voirol. Most of the coins are provenanced from auctions or lists or were bought directly from stock such as those of E. Beckenbauer, Munich; H. Blaser-Frey, Freiburg; E. Bourgey, Paris; Ernst-Algie, Stuttgart; J. Florange, Paris; Frankfurter Münzhandlung E. Button, Frankfurt; Hauck & Aufhäuser, Munich; G. Hirsch, Munich; H.H.

Neider, Stadtbergen; B. Peus, Frankfurt; H.D. Rauch, Vienna; F. Sternberg, Zurich; and J. Vinchon, Paris.
A separate, fully illustrated catalogue of the complete collection has been compiled, containing the photos and full description of all the coins in each lot. This catalogue will be available during the Triton lot viewing at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York, but you may also request that a catalogue be sent to you.
