Ex Andrew McCabe Collection (Classical Numismatic Group Electronic Auction 420, 9 May 2018), lot 403, purchased from Lodge Antiquities, 2013.
This coin has a very fortuitously placed "Stannard gouge" or al-marco weight adjustment gouge that avoids both the wreath and the galley! See http://www.stannard.info/website/Publications.html for Clive Stannard's articles about the adjustment al-marco of the weight of Roman Republican denarius blanks by gouging. [A. McCabe]
