ROMAN. Sextus Pompey (The Pompeians). 37/6 BC. Silver Denarius (3.92g). Obverse brockage. Uncertain Sicilian mint. Bare head of Pompey the Great right; capis to left, lituus to right / Incuse and reversed impression of the obverse. Cf. Crawford 511/3a; cf. CRI 334; cf. Sydenham 1344; cf. RSC 17 (Pompey the Great); cf. RBW 1785. Amazing old cabinet toning. Quite possibly the finest known example of this denarius type, an absolutely superb brockage of exceptional eye appeal. In our opinion, it is markedly superior in strike, centering and overall preservation to the most recently sold specimen in CNG 596, lot 655 (1 Oct 2025), hammered USD 1,500, as well as to all other recorded auction examples of the type.
