Excellent score Ro

 

Nice find, still need him too.

 

Nice job @ro1974 ! He is one of the few Emperors I still need to get! Envious...very nice capture.

 

Excellent piece. I'm very happy with my big Balbinus provincial:



Cilicia, Tarsus: Balbinus, 238 AD. AE 36 mm, 24.31 gm. Obv: Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right. Rev: Pupienus(?), radiate, on horseback right, casting javelin at lion leaping right beneath with head left; A in legend, M/K and G/B in fields. SNG Levante Supp. 280 (this coin)

 

Very nice RO. I need to find one of these at an affordable price of course.

 

Nice coins! You never see any of his gold aureii in auctions.

Nice score ro.
I've never had a sestertius of his. Looked around for ages for an example to go with his "dear" collegue Pupienus that I had one of, but unsuccessfuly (at least in the price range I was targetting, wanting them to be in a similar condition). In the end I gave up and parted with the Pupienus

Thanks all picture is to dark to they on facebook

Wow, ro => fantastic coin score (congrats)

... sadly, I don't have one of this dude (yet)

 

Terrific Sestertius @ro1974

I have a 'budget' example---a bit rough but affordable:

 

I don't even have a budget example. Nice coin Mikey.

 

I'd be very happy with it as well!! Congrats @Greg Heinrich

That's a wonderful example 'Q', I'd be hard pressed to part with one that nice, especially when I 'settled' for the one I posted below---another 'budget' type, but a bit more so LOL

 

I am quite happy with my Pupienus Sestertius ...

 

That is a terrific example of Pupienus: portrait, legends and strike are still quite bold and excellent eye-appeal to boot!!!

 

Excellent coin!

 

Another nice find, Ro. Balbinus sestertii are really not easy to find.

I am afraid I do not own a Balbinus either, but I did have the opportunity to add this Pupienus to my collection. His sestertii are a bit more available.
He has a lovely green color.

Pupienus, 238. Sestertius, Rome.

Obv: CAES M CLOD PVPIENVS AVG Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Pupienus to right.
Rev: PAX PVBLICA / S C Pax seated left on throne, holding branch in her outstretched right hand and scepter with her left. Cohen 23. RIC 22a.

 

Poopyanus is very high on my want-list ... sadly, they're usually quite pricey (I will continue to wait in the reeds for my opportunity to score one of these winners)

 

Coin is fake,
I think they have see that good
