<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Julius Germanicus, post: 3541266, member: 80783&quot;]Last night I was outbid on this Plotina Sestertius:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]941228[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I &quot;left the building&quot; when it crossed the 1000 USD-barrier which may seem a lot due to the crusty surfaces and smoothing, but on the other hand Trajan´s wife is extremely rare to find and I liked the full legends, handsome portrait, and toning compatible to my Sestertius collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please console me and let me know that it was a sane decision to save the money for something else with better surfaces and more historical importance (my Julius Caesar needs a huge improvement...).</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, it would have opened the road to hell for me. I am happy to have more or less completed the one-Sestertius-per-Emperor challenge, but owning this item would have meant that I would feel the completist´s urge to get&nbsp; Marciana and Matidia next, and then embark on a one-Sestertius-per-Empress portrait gallery mission which would result in bankruptcy without even coming close (anyone here has a Sestertius of Agrippina II,&nbsp; Plautilla, Tranquillina or Annia Faustina?).</p><p><br /></p><p>Please show your Plotinas or share stories of when you did or did not pull the trigger on an unhealthy purchase.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS. Did someone here outbid me?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
