that's a nice lady sestertius for a 12 spot! nice mixed silver hammered group as well.

 

The twelve buck sestertius is fantastic! Man, I'll take a dozen of those

 

You did good! Nice medieval lot.

 

If you can get a decent portrait and clear name with bold reverse figure for $12, I'm not sure what more you should expect. Crispina is not the most common lady sestertius. I would have expected this one to be twice that price.

 

----I'm expecting Franks to sell us an antoninianus of Crispina for a couple of bucks.

 

antoninianus of Crispina doesn't exist

This was a good bargain list, to me, this go around.

 

Cool medievals!! But I think that Crispina sestertius is terrific .....and a bargain too!

 

Totally worth the $12 and more!

 

Thanks, Guys.

 

What a steal!

 

Nice additions Mat. I really like that sestertius!

 

Congrats, Mat ... I have a Crispina sestertius as well, but mine cost many times more than your sweet OP-score!! (you got a great deal)
