<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 3297575, member: 75937&quot;]This coin of Faustina I was described as a sestertius in the auction in which it appeared. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]873002[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>But it&#039;s actually a dupondius, as one can see by comparison with a sestertius.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]873003[/ATTACH] </p><p>But I&#039;m okay with that; the dupondius seems to be far more scarce than the sestertius version of this coin. I have been unable to find another example anywhere online.The British Museum does not have an example and it is not to be found at Wildwinds, OCRE, The Coin Project, coinscatalog.com, in the CNG archives or on a search at acsearchinfo. RIC lists it, but cites Cohen as the source.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
