HT1. Obverse type of M. Lucilius Rufus, reverse type of Q. Caecillius Metellus Pius, after 81 BC; cf. Cr-324/1 (O) and Cr-374/1 (R), 3.99g. Both sides seemingly struck from dies transfered from official coins; reverse "improved" by addition of inappropriate border of dots beyong wreath; superfluous dot in lower right field of obverse possibly added as well.
HT2. Obverse type of C. Postumius, reverse type of C. Poblicius, after74 BC; cf. Cr-394/1 (O) and 380 (R), 3.64g, serrate. Both sides seemingly transfered from official coins. See Banti 18/32 for reverse control Q, same die.
HT3+. Obverse type of Q. Pomponius Musa, reverse type of C. Naevius Balbus, after 66 BC; cf. Cr-410/5 (O) and 382/1 (R), 4.02g. Both sides unquestionably transferred from official coins; this would be clear from style alone, but the obverse also shows the rim of the original; the reverse, the rim including serration. I've seen no other example of this.
HT4+. Obverse type of Lucius Caesius, reverse type of L. Torquatus, after 112 BC; cf. Cr-298/1 (O) and 295/1 (R), 3.87g. Both sides seemingly transferred from official coins.
