<p>[QUOTE="Ocatarinetabellatchitchix, post: 4493314, member: 99554"]Once upon a time there were 2 friends fans of Roman coins. One day they took a bet together :"<i>lets try to gather the largest possible collection of Roman Emperors in bronze. Yeah in BIG bronze. But here is the challenge; we must not pay more than 25$ each...</i>". We tried. It was a lot easier 15 years ago. And we didn't get any <i>fleur de coin</i> at this price. The time has passed and the challenge has been forgotten...until yesterday. I couldn't resist this Volusian Sestertius at what I believe is a very good price. I only had antoniniani of him, so it's gonna be a new member in the family. It is supposedly rated "R1" but a quick look at acsearch allowed me to find more than 80 examples! So here is my new baby bought for 24.95$. This one is for you, my old friend Patrick. May you rest in peace.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Volusian</b> Sestertius</p><p>Rome 28mm 14.74g</p><p>IMP CAE C VIB VOLVSIANO AVG / CONCORDIA AVGG</p><p>Concordia holding Patera & Cornucopiae</p><p>RIC 249a</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1114829[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Please post your cheapest Big Bronzes.</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
