Cohen 334v. RIC 1134v The pic is pretty acurate on this one.
I saw my first Sestertius's at Long Beach and man those are some big coins, prices that had for them were even bigger, and they were rough Those are some great additions. I especially like the Antoninus Pius. I like the look of it.
Thanks It was hard to chose which ones :/ Most were Pius, Aurelius and Commodus but there was a nice one of Lucius Verus, but the front of the face was ruined. Were you at teh LB coins show? These just came back fromt here
All are nice and particularly nice when you consider that both sides are nice. So many of my coins of this nature are better on one side than the other. These are even and attractive.
Thanks yeah there are few I thought about that were extremely nice on one side, but the just so so on the other. a Few were one the nicer end of what I usually get, and some way to pricey so I went with the goldy lox zone. It was hard to choose though.
