<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gary R. Wilson, post: 3245471, member: 89935&quot;]I just received my most recent ebay win (gamble?) and I&#039;m very happy. Another bargain at $60 that helps lessen the losses of the fakes that I carelessly got. Here it is:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]850581[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]850583[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Ruler: Antoninus Pius (Augustus)</p><p>Coin: VF Brass Sestertius </p><p>ANTONINVS AVG PIVS P P TR P XXII - Laureate head right</p><p>VOTA SVSCEPTA DEC III, COS IIII in ex, - Antoninus Pius, standing left, sacrificing with patera over tripod, left arm at side</p><p>Exergue:</p><p><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/symbols/imperial/symbol18.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/symbols/imperial/symbol3.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/symbols/imperial/symbol3.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/symbols/imperial/symbol14.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/symbols/imperial/symbol18.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/symbols/imperial/symbol9.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/symbols/imperial/symbol9.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/symbols/imperial/symbol9.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/symbols/imperial/symbol9.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Mint: Rome (158-159 AD)</p><p>Wt./Size/Axis: 25.09g / 31mm / 12h</p><p>References:</p><ul> <li>RIC 1010</li> <li>Cohen 1124</li> <li>BMC 2068</li> <li>Sear 4262</li> </ul><p>Acquisition/Sale: mtmstores Ebay $0.00 11/18</p><p>Notes: <i>Nov 8, 18</i> - The Gary R.

Now only a couple of years later, I hold my breath and examine the coin carefully before I smile and put it in my collection. I like the old days more. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
