    Nice, and I dont have that type as far as the shorter legend on the obverse and the concordia reverse. I Have the more common longer legend obverse. I just didnt feel the need to add this type to my set. It would just mean more $ going out.

    Now if it was under $30, I would easily.

    I browsed for information on the coin I have some doubts about and found this thread.
    I have similar coin as OP, but sizes puzzle me and make me wonder if its genuine.
    It weighs 13.82grams
    Width is 22mm
    Height is 24mm
    Diagonal is 25mm
    It is in far worse shape than OPs coin, but still...
    Help appreciated
    Thanks

    Nice coin, @Mat . Lucilla looks a little more ... umm ... matronly than on other issues.

    Here's a Lucilla with Venus sestertius from my collection.
