[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 3601643, member: 75937"]I bought this coin thinking it was RIC 1368, BMCRE4 2198-99. However, after I had acquired it, I noticed Concordia on this sestertius was leaning on a column, which was not a variety noted by RIC, BMCRE, Cohen, or Sear. I thought that perhaps I had discovered a previously unpublished variety, but Curtis Clay of the Harlan Berk company informed me that the variety had been previously described by Strack. So, I didn't know this variety existed until I had obtained one. [ATTACH=full]963924[/ATTACH] Faustina II, AD 147-175/6. Roman orichalcum sestertius, 29.89 g, 31.0 mm, 6 h. Rome, AD 154-157. Obv: FAVSTINA AVGVSTA, bare-headed and draped bust, right. Rev: AVGVSTI PII FIL S C, Concordia standing left and leaning on column, holding patera and cornucopia. Refs: Strack 1328; RIC --; BMCRE4 --; Cohen --; RCV --. [B]Next up: somebody leaning on a column.[/B][/QUOTE]
