<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2299123, member: 19463&quot;]I got two asses this year but neither made the top ten list because they knocked each other out of the running. They are the Temple of Janus type.&nbsp; </p><p>The first upgraded my similar coin that I have had for a long time but this one has better surfaces so the upgrage was obvious to me.&nbsp; It is the less common version on asses using TERRAMARIQ (on land and sea) rather than VBIQ (everywhere).&nbsp; The long version is normal on sestertii but less so on asses. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]461792[/ATTACH] </p><p>Next came an VBIQ but the temple faces left instead of the more common right.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]461794[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;My normal VBIQ right as is still the highest grade coin of the type I have.&nbsp; I still need a portrait left coin but I was hoping that would be a sestertius.&nbsp; Unfortunately, the big guys tend to sell for more than I pay.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]461795[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This is a type that being full legend really means a lot to me but most people would rather have no wear so my problem coins were destined to be mine.&nbsp; Maybe I&#039;ll find a reasonably priced, full legend sestertius with left portrait.&nbsp; Maybe I won&#039;t.&nbsp; The one below would do. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie54" alt=":hungry:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1385861" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1385861" rel="nofollow">http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1385861</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
