Congratulations!!! Those would do it for me :-)
I wanted both a lifetime issue and a Sestertius-sized bronze of Julius Caesar, but was not willing to spend more than 200 USD. So I ended up with...
I have a worn (and corroded) left facing Titus Sestertius, too: [ATTACH] IMP T CAES VESP AVG P M TR P PP COS VIII / ANNONA AVG Sestertius, Rome...

I would not call Cohen or Eckhel original sources, even if they wrote in the 19th and 18th century ;). Then Cohen misquoted Julius Capitolinus...
