<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RaceBannon, post: 2053085, member: 25357&quot;]I took a little break from coin buying in December.&nbsp; So this weekend I decided to get together with my local ancient dealer and make up for lost time<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; He&#039;s been scooping up inventory and hitting the shows like a madman, and had several hundred new coins that he didn&#039;t have in his inventory when we last sat down in November.</p><p><br /></p><p>I fell in love with these two coins despite the obvious surface problems on each.&nbsp; I suspect the Trajan sestertius spent some time in the ground as it has some serious pitting issues and the Agrippa also has some major surface corrosion, but I still really liked these two.&nbsp; I feel the details are still pretty clear on both coins.&nbsp; Agrippa is one I&#039;ve wanted for a while.</p><p><br /></p><p>Post your Trajan or Agrippa coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Trajan</b>; 98-117 AD&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>AE Sestertius; 32mm/25.3g</p><p>OBV: IMP CAES NER TRAIANO OPTIMO AVG GER DAC PMTRP COS VI P Laureate Bust Draped R</p><p>REV: SENATVS POPVLVS ROMANVS FORTRED SC in exergue; Fortuna Redux seated L holding cornucopia and rudder</p><p>(RIC 652, Cohen 158)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]377452[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]377453[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Agrippa</b>; 37-41 AD&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>Struck under Caligula</p><p>AE As; 30mm/11.2g, Rome mint</p><p>OBV: M AGRIPPA L F COS III, Head L wearing rostral crown</p><p>REV: Neptune Standing L holding small dolphin and trident; SC in fields</p><p>(RIC I 58, Cohen 3)</p><p>&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]377454[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]377455[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
