R2 Roman Republic, Anonymous Issue, c. 214-212 BC, AE sextans         $350
   (6.90g), Sicilian mint. Obv: Head of Mercury r., two pellets
   behind. Rev: Prow r., grain ear, ROMA above; two pellets below.
   42/3. EF/VF. Towards the close of the 3rd century BC the Roman
   coinage finally came into line with that of the Greek world. The
   unwieldy aes grave units were given over to conventional struck
   coins in gold, silver and bronze. The example here is artistically
   excellent and has a beautiful original patina. Early bronzes in
   such high grade are not easy to find.
