[QUOTE="rexesq, post: 1198177, member: 5739"]I recently bought this low grade Faustina Sr. Bronze for a very low price from a well known seller. My questions are, first off, it was sold as the reverse being Aeternitas seated with the legend: AETERNITAS and SC below as usual. I was just wondering if this is a correct attribution, the reverse to me looks like someone else, and I can't read the title so I can't tell.... I am not too good with the different varieties of coins of Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius and their spouses. Also, this coin weighs 11.0 grams, it was sold as being a Dupondius, can anyone tell, either by looking or by the weight whether this is an As or a Dupondius, I know the weight varies with them all, and that with Faustina there is no giveaway (like the radiate crown on dupondii of emperors) to tell which denomination it is..... any help on who/what is on the reverse and the denomination would be helpful... also any info on when it was struck, I know it is a posthumous issue, but aside from that I haven't a clue as to when it was struck... Make sure to [U]fully [/U]enlarge the photo to check it out.... it's quite large.[/QUOTE]
