Like this one: RIC 1268; Cohen 1008. Not in the British Museum collection. Here's the listing in BMCRE4:
Like that acsearch example, yes, but based on the different obv legend on the OP coin (AVRELIVS CAES - AVG PII F) than 1268 and the RIC entry, I think it's RIC 1252 (like stated in the one you linked to). http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.3.ant.1252 Very cool coin!
Yes ... I was concentrating too much on the reverse type and didn't notice the difference in obverse legend.
I did now notice that linked coin has both 1252 & 1268 (but I don't know German and abbreviations) "C. -, vgl. 1007 f. R.I.C. A.P. -, vgl. 1252 u. 1268."
Nice coin - and very thorough detective work, RC & Justin. I posted a Marcus Aurelius sestertius with a Virtus reverse a while back - I was sort of wondering about the relative scarcity of Virtus types for MA. My example is not as horrible as it looks in the photos - it suffered a very harsh cleaning job that stripped away about a third or so of its patina in an unpleasant camouflage pattern. I paid a quarter for it, so I still consider it a bargain. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/marcus-aurelius-sestertius-virtus-rare-does-it-matter.321327/ Marcus Aurelius Æ Sestertius (172-173 A.D.)
