[QUOTE="Finn235, post: 4207930, member: 98035"]Already posted them here, but why not again? Managed to snag two rare sestertii in the last CNG auction, both from the "summer haven" collection and both for bargain prices because the best bits of that collection were sold a couple auctions ago. Gordian III as Caesar M ANT GORDIANVS CAES, bareheaded draped bust right PIETAS AVGG, priestly implements, SC in exergue [ATTACH=full]1078778[/ATTACH] Gallienus IMP C P LIC GALLIENVS AVG, laureate cuirassed bust right VIRTVS AVGG S C, Mars standing left, holding spear and shield [ATTACH=full]1078776[/ATTACH] To offset these two, I also bought a large lot of reasonably priced Greek AR fractions to flip... but I fell in love! Mysia, Lampsakos AR Diobol Archaic style, 500-450 BC Janiform goddess Helmeted head of Athena left, within incuse square [ATTACH=full]1078777[/ATTACH] A very common issue, but not in such smooth metal or charming style! A keeper if I ever saw one! There were some other goodies in the lot, but sadly no pictures just yet. Has anyone else gotten their little white CNG box yet? Let's see em![/QUOTE]
