<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 7507184, member: 86498&quot;]Last fall I was very interested in purchasing a number of coins in the Roma Auction, however I ended up buying one coin which pretty well depleted my budget, ending any thought of purchasing any of the others that I wanted. Bummer. However a few months later&nbsp; one of the coins that I had wanted to purchase came up on another dealers site. We negotiated a bit and I got the coin.</p><p>Geta As Augustus Ae Sestertius 211 AD Obv. Bust right laureate. Rv. Fortuna seated left. RIC 168a 28.03 grms 31 mm Photo by W. Hansen[ATTACH=full]1297187[/ATTACH] He would have been most likely 21 to 22 years old when this coin was struck. Within the year he would be murdered by his brother.&nbsp; Some of his last portraits show him wearing a beard that very much resembled his fathers. This is probably the only thing that I could possibly wish that was different on this coin.&nbsp; However getting any sestertius of Geta is a bit of a challenge so I am very happy with the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
