Don't you just hate waiting? I do. Some things I can be patient, but the mail is not one of them.

Nice catch. I don't have that type, but I do have a provincial AE28 that is quite nice

Nice coin @ro1974 ! Very Rare just makes them NICER!

I have a couple rough Macrinus... but, I know they are pretty common:


RI Didumenian and Macrinus 217-218 CE AE28 Markianopolis mint Serapis


RI Macrinus 217-218 AE25 CE Facing Quadriga

 

Haven't seen many of that coin ro1974, good pick up.

 

Macrinus, eh? .... hmmm, all I have is this AR example



=> awesome OP-addition, ro1974

 

i don't have a sestertius either, but this is my favorite roman tet...

 

I don't have any Imperial of Macrinus but I have this Markianopolis AE 28 of him and his son.

 

Ro's sestertius seems to be a very scarce type?
In fact, a brief review of acsearch shows no auction listings for this type for Macrinus.

Nice catch!

Here are my two examples for Macrinus:

MACRINUS. 217-218 AD. Æ As (24mm, 10.96 gm). Struck 217-218 AD.
Obv: Laureate and cuirassed bust right
Rev: Macrinus standing left in quadriga, holding branch and sceptre, and being crowned by Victory standing left behind. RIC IV 162; Clay Issue 2; BMCRE 134; Cohen 107. VF, green patina, some light roughness, minor smoothing in fields.

Ex CNG. From the Rudolf Berk Collection.

Here's Macrinus With the reverse of the suckling she-wolf. It was struck in Laodicea. BMC 97

 

yeah, that's shamash, he's a mesopotamian solar diety. he was the "mint mark" for emesa tets.
