Message:: [QUOTE="Justin Lee, post: 4654137, member: 87404"]This coin was one of my first few ancients. I sold it for a good price to a friend at my ancient coin club, but after a summer, I felt my heart yearn for it again. He didn't want the cash back but said to find a coin I thought he would like and he'd trade it back. I did that and have had it in my collection since. There's just something about it's size and patina--even the nick on GIII's face--that makes it a piece to be treasured. <img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/collagemaker_20190326_215036930.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> Gordian III, Ruled 238-244 ADAE32 Sestertius, Moesia, ViminaciumStruck 241/242 AD (RY 3)Obverse: IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG, laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right.Reverse: PMS C-OL VIM, Moesia standing facing, head left, extending hands to bull and lion standing at feet on either side, AN III in exergue (RY 3 = 241/242 AD).References: SNG Cop 142, BMC 9Size: 32mm, 18.9g[/QUOTE]
