<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Zebucatt, post: 6578029, member: 118774&quot;]I thought I would share my impulsive bored at work buys that arrived today. I was well behaved that day so each buy was under $50.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first is a sestertius of Lucilla. I collect empress mainly 1st-3rd centuries heavier into the Severn era but I haven&#039;t gotten around to get a ses of her yet so bored and on ebay I saw this going for $35 at the time from a pawn shop in Las Vegas saying it was from a estate sale of 25yr coll-Bla-bla-bla. I don&#039;t believe any ebay story unless I know the seller. Lol Anyway I figured what the hell. Got it for $48 with shipping. Came today and I am not ga-ga over it. I know for the price its good but it doesn&#039;t give me that feeling you know. Feel I would have got a better one from sphinx on vcoins but I will let you be the judge.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Lucilla AE sestertius 34mm, 21.5g 164-166A.D.</p><p>Obv: LUCILLAE AVG ANTONINI AVG F</p><p>Draped bust right</p><p>Rev: VESTA S C</p><p>Vesta standing left, sacrificing from simpulum over lighted alter and holding palladium.</p><p>RIC 1779 corr BMCRE 1178</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1264405[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1264406[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The next I got also on ebay from a awesome seller who I actually got the info about coin talk from in his store and decided to join. Thank you Cody111111. And I love them. I know they aren&#039;t the rarest but I really like the style and patina of the Antioch local issues. I paid $10 each with shipping.</p><p><br /></p><p>Diadumenian AE 19 3.2g Antiochia ad Orontem</p><p>KAI. M. O. DI.
