[QUOTE="Finn235, post: 3662128, member: 98035"]Thanks guys. It's nice to know that I didn't miss something obvious with this one and that it is indeed a rarity. Unfortunately, I had bought the lot with an eye to keeping one or two coins and selling the rest to hopefully end up better than if I had just bought them... I ended up "needing" five coins from the lot, comprising three upgrades and two holes filled. It's a fascinating coin and exceptional as far as provincials go, but it just doesn't "fit" my collection, as I already have a very nice Maximus sestertius. It wouldn't get the attention or appreciation a rare coin deserves. So the coin will hopefully be going to its "forever" home soon... the question is, what's the best way to get it there? I do probably 95% of my selling via 99 cent auctions on ebay and usually hit my target profit while giving my customers better prices than they would get at an auction house. I've learned valuable lessons about not doing this for potentially very valuable coins, however... from what I have seen, this is likely a $150+ coin, but I doubt I would get that at the mercy of the bidders... perhaps I should try consigning it?
