    Rough, but if it's cheap enough, it's a good enough buy.

    Low grade ancient coins are still ancient coins, they are important pieces of history and every single one has a story to tell. I am glad to see them being collected too!

    My $5 sestertius bought from Jeff Clark. There's enough of the obverse legend there to see that it's of Titus as Caesar, whose sestertii are apparently a little hard to come by. It's currently holding down the Titus spot as I build the World's Ugliest Twelve Caesars collection. TITUS1.jpg
