<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikey Zee, post: 2282023, member: 72818&quot;]I thought I&#039;d post this prior to arranging todays holiday events....</p><p><br /></p><p>I stumbled upon this example while browsing e-Bay and as the sellers photos indicate, it was from HHC, a reputable seller. Bronzes of this type can be a bit pricey in the more preferred grades and I had to let a few go by over the last several months---and other &#039;budget&#039; varieties were far too worn and corroded for my taste(s).</p><p><br /></p><p>I think this dupondius may be a slight &#039;coup&#039; or simply worth what I paid for in the condition it is in---although, I think some gentle careful cleaning might greatly enhance the appeal and better reveal the details. I was winning this coin at less than $40.00 until literally in the last few seconds a &#039;snip bid&#039; jumped it up to $81.00 shipped.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d appreciate any comments whether to attempt cleaning it or not and whether it appears this coin was worth the final cost. Apparently, the green splotches are NOT indicative of bronze disease, according to HHC.....</p><p><br /></p><p>Dupondius of Livia/Justitia, under Tiberius, AD 22/23, 14.55 grams</p><p>Diademed bust, with JVSTITIA below</p><p>S C in center, TI CAESAR DIVI F AVG PM POT XXIIII</p><p>RIC 46, BMC 79</p><p>[ATTACH=full]456147[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]456148[/ATTACH]</p><p>HAPPY THANGSGIVING!!!!!!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
