Ex NAC sale 23, 2002, 1466.

All quinarii are rare. This is a nice example of the extensive series issued under Augustus. NAC called this coin at the time of its auction "Good VF". I would call it at least "about EF" if not full EF. It's really a clean coin for an issue in gold that saw some circulation. MSG.
