[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 3541459, member: 8959"]Sestertii of Plotina are not that scarce. This one does have a decent amount of detail but it has been played, with with an unsightly result. I really would rather have a lower grade specimen but better surfaces. If it is any consolation, I lost out on this on the same auction as you - a very scarce as of Galba of the QVADRAGENS-REMISSAE type. Now, that is a scarce coin, and this is by far one of the best examples I have seen in over 25 years. I put in a sub-atomic bid prior to the live auction just to put me in the ball-game.

The result was I missed the live event by 10 minutes and my coin by one mere bid.....I was ready to go higher. [ATTACH=full]941296[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]941297[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
