The Victoriatus was made of a more debased silverthan the denarius, which was introduced at about the same time. Hoard evidence indicates that the coin circulated in southern Italy and later Gaul, indicating that the coin was intended as a replacement for the drachma or half-nomosinstead of as part of the normal Roman coin system. When first issued the Victoriatus had a value of about 3/4 of a denarius, however when the Quinarius was reintroduced in 101 BC with a similar type, it was valued at 1/2 a denarius.This indicates that Victoriati that were still in circulation at this time were worn and considered to be worth only half a denarius. The reintroduced Quinarius was produced mainly for Cisalpine Gaul, where the Victoriatusand imitations were popular. The reintroduced Quinarius may have continued to be called a Victoriatus, although there is no written evidence of this."Do you know the different NGC - Economy Grading and NGC "FULL SERVICE" Grading?Economy grading is cheaper because NGC, with economy grading at cheaper fee, does not grade the coins Strike or Surface Qualities.Also, under economy grading, NGC does not identify any of the coins damages (scratches, flan flaws, clipping, dents, bent, etc.).Full Service grading costs a lot more, but I know it is definitely worth the extra money!Full grading is the ONLY NGC grading that fully discloses the coins TRUE quality AND the ONLY service we use from NGC.Full grading gives the buyer FULL disclosure about the coin BEFORE the buyer buys the coin and finds out about these flaws later.
