<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2015426, member: 19463&quot;]Sometimes peer pressure pushes us to do something we might not otherwise do.&nbsp; At Baltimore, I saw this coin and thought that some of the CT family would like this one so I bought it.&nbsp; I hope you like it.&nbsp; Any time you want to see it you can always fly a few thousand miles and visit it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For Mat, it is an Empress.&nbsp; While Faustina II is common, I did not have one of her Consecratio issues so it made some sense to get it.&nbsp; As a bonus, for Steve, it is an animal coin with a nice facing peacock.&nbsp; This one was also in Jonathan Kern&#039;s box of unslabbed coins.&nbsp; Its only real fault is some wear.&nbsp; Researching the type on acsearch suggests that this type is much less common than the ones showing the peacock walking right.&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]363745[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I looked this up in the Reka Devnia hoard report and found there were 32 of the facing birds and 186 of the ones walking right.&nbsp; This matches the impression from acsearch but points out that neither is a rare coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
