<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1849874, member: 19463&quot;]While I agree with the YOC reading of Aeternitas, it really makes no difference.&nbsp; None of the options for Faustina I (100% certain for the OP) with a single standing figure are worth more than the others and, even if they were, you would need a good enough detail that you did not have to wonder what it was.&nbsp; The coin has a reasonably clear but worn portrait and therein lies 98% of its value.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m known to be cheap and would not pay the $10-15 that I would expect to see the coin offered for by a reasonable seller.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>When someone asks a coin&#039;s value, what are we to say?&nbsp; Few dealers would want to buy a single example of a very worn coin since they are likely to get all they can handle as parts of groups they buy.&nbsp; It could be sold to someone with few or no ancients coins since it is definitely a genuine sestertius of an identifiable historical personage but it is not the sort of coin someone might seek if they specificly wanted a coin of Faustina I or if they collected 2nd century sestertii.&nbsp; The question to me is not so much how much the coin is worth but how to find the person who would want to give it a happy home.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;d give it to a high school Latin teacher or student.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
