<p>[QUOTE=&quot;curtislclay, post: 5193958, member: 89514&quot;]Blake,</p><p><br /></p><p>Nice FORTVNAE REDVCI sestertius! I have a plaster cast of the same coin made at Spink&#039;s in the 1970s.</p><p><br /></p><p>All Elagabalus sestertii of the second half of 219, and two types of early in 220, are rare. Specimens represented in my admittedly very incomplete collection of plaster casts:</p><p><br /></p><p>FORTVNAE REDVCI&nbsp; &nbsp; 8 spec., 4 rev. dies. Yours is easily the finest of the eight.</p><p>ADVENTVS AVGVSTI&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 5 spec., 1 rev. die</p><p>PAX AVGVSTI&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 9 spec., 4 rev. dies</p><p>TR P II Sol standing&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 2 spec., 1 rev. die</p><p>LIBERALITAS AVGVSTI II&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 3 spec., 2 rev. dies</p><p>LIBERAL AVG II Platform scene&nbsp; &nbsp; 2 spec., 1 rev. die</p><p>TR P III Quadriga&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 13 spec., 2 rev. dies</p><p>TR P III Emperor on curule chair&nbsp;&nbsp; 5 spec., 2 rev. dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the Mars and Salus sestertii you need do you mean MARS VICTOR and SALVS ANTONINI AVG? Those types belong to Elagabalus&#039; first issue, 218-219, and are not especially rare if I remember correctly. Will check my casts again this evening.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
