<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 6588587, member: 85693&quot;]My whole collection is a giant impulse buy.&nbsp; Which is why I enjoy these threads so much.</p><p><br /></p><p>Speaking of Lucilla, below is a batch of three sestertii that went for a blistering $36.09 on eBay.&nbsp; The Hadrian and the Pius were what I was going for - that bottom one is a Lucilla.&nbsp; In addition to its awful pitting, the rims on the Lucilla have been ground down and are smooth and shiny - once part of an ugly brooch perhaps?&nbsp; I am pretty sure that is Hilaritas on the reverse, RIC III 1740 (Aurelius).&nbsp; At least I think it is a sestertius - it looks undersized compared to the other two, but it weighs 17.5 grams, too heavy for a dupondius I&#039;m guessing.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The Lucilla is pretty awful, but I was quite happy with the other two (I don&#039;t think the green on the Pius is BD - it is hard, not powdery). </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1264970[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
