<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 7592857, member: 75937&quot;]Very nice, [USER=102873]@Seated J[/USER]! I occasionally buy from Great Collections, but seldom do I find any of their slabbed coins worth paying what they want for them. Once in a while, though, I run across an interesting Roman provincial or reasonably-priced denarius and I&#039;ll bid on them. I always crack them out of the slabs as soon as they arrive in the mail.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like both of your bronzes. I went on a Mamaea bender a few years back and acquired almost every denarius and sestertius issued for her (the middle bronzes are much more challenging). Here&#039;s my FELICITAS AVG:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/mamaea-felicitas-avg-sestertius-jpg.1044278/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Julia Mamaea, AD 222-235.</p><p>Roman orichalcum sestertius, 26.95 g, 31.5 mm, 12 h.</p><p>Rome, issue 9, AD 228.</p><p>Obv: IVLIA MAMAEA AVGVSTA, diademed and draped bust, right.</p><p>Rev: FELICITAS AVG, Felicitas standing left, holding long vertical caduceus and cornucopia.</p><p>Refs: RIC 670; BMCRE 527-30; Cohen 10; RCV 8227; Banti 4.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
