Thank you all for your help on this. I do appreciate it, even if not what I hoped to hear.
I am conflicted about this coin. It is s Sextus Pompeius Faustulus with Roma/ Wolf, tree, shepherd, birds, Crawford 235/1a. Pro: Style seems...
Here's a link to the CoinIndia site. I found it informative: http://coinindia.com/galleries-hermaios.html
I picked up one of these a while back. Mine is a fourrée I'm pretty certain. I contacted CoinIndia.com in order to get more information, but...
I have to say I was shocked (unpleasantly) by the auction experience of Julius Germanicus. That "batch" of sestertii deserved a better...

I don't mind the "derailed thread" at all! I am really enjoying the jewelry posts - great stuff here.

About 20 years ago I found this in a local coin shop for about $150. Its problems are fairly obvious. Mostly I collect ancients and world...
What a marvelous, expressive portrait on this coin! A true work of art.
Welcome to ancients - I really like that Mercury Marcus Aurelius (thanks for the info, Doug - I had no idea). Lovely coin and interesting...

Interesting - armed with RIC 66 information, I found a post on Coin Community Forum from 2012 where a similar coin (but with a draped bust) was...
