<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 1687064, member: 39084&quot;]There are two AES that I need to complete my collection of 12 Caesars sestertii: Tiberius and Titus.&nbsp; While sestertii of Tiberius are very rare, Titus&#039; sestertii are common in many types over a wide range.&nbsp; Despite being common, it has been difficult to find a Titus sestertii appropriate for my collection in the last three years or so.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Recently, however, I found an auction coin that looked interesting and was wondering if I should consider it.&nbsp; I consulted with my dealer about this coin and his conclusion was the same as mine, but rather than just post the coin and my conclusion, I thought it would be interesting and enjoyable to share the experience with this group and read others&#039; evaluations and opinions of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me start with the criteria by which I judge a coin when considering it for my collection: (1) obverse portrait must be at least good style or better; (2) condition must be at least good VF, but preferably EF, unless the coin is an extremely rare type; (3) coin cannot be tooled or re-engraved in any way, and smoothing of fields should be minimal; (4) if possible, the reverse type should be interesting and less common (although this fourth criteria is not critical).</p><p><br /></p><p>With that in mind, please feel free to share your opinions and comments on the following coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]253979.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I will post my evaluation after a sufficient time for others to post their comments, and then I will post my dealer&#039;s evaluation/conclusion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
