[QUOTE="Harry G, post: 7475842, member: 105282"]Hi all! I recently bought this sestertius of Trajan. It isn't in very good condition (that's a bit of an understatement), but the reverse definitely appears to be Trajan on horseback, pacing l. I was surprised to discover that this could be a rare Equus Trajani type (like this: [URL]https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/incitatus_coins/79/product/trajan_ae_sestertius_112114_ad_equus_traiani__the_equestrian_statue_of_trajan_that_stood_in_trajans_forum_rare/168515/Default.aspx[/URL]) Are there any other sestertii of Trajan that have a similar reverse that my coin is likely to be, or did I strike it lucky? I think I see an SC below at the base of the reverse, which matches the Equus Trajani type. I know it will be worth almost nothing in the condition it is in - even if it is a rare type - but it'll be pretty cool if it is an Equus Trajani type Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! [ATTACH=full]1294220[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
