<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Justin Lee, post: 5190179, member: 87404&quot;]Great looking coin, Blake! I agree that the tiber patina of it suits it ant its details well! It&#039;s such a wonderful rendering on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve recently got a new Elagabalus sestertius (I&#039;m beginning to get addicted to those of his). It is RIC 334,but I&#039;m not sure what the references say about its scarcity, though I only find <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=Elagabalus+sestertius+334&amp;category=1-2&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;images=1&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;order=0&amp;currency=usd&amp;company=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=Elagabalus+sestertius+334&amp;category=1-2&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;images=1&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;order=0&amp;currency=usd&amp;company=" rel="nofollow">2 examples on ACSearch</a>. It is late in his reign, his last year (PM TR P V COS IIII P P), so makes it more historically interesting to ME. Plus, it is a sestertius with his horn, which I don&#039;t see as often than on denarii.</p><p><img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2020/11/incollage_20201130_153953317.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>In August, I had gotten my first Elagabalus sestertius with what I can only assume is a relatively common reverse... VICTORIA ANTONINI AVG, Victory right, RIC 377. It&#039;s a bit earlier in his reign than my other, and has a bit more detail on both sides. I like that it calls out his &quot;family&quot; name on the reverse to bind him closer to AntPi.</p><p><img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2020/11/incollage_20201130_155554418.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
