    Weird you should post this. A friend at my ancient coin club had a nearly identical coin for sale last night. I was going to buy it but forgot my checkbook. I told him to bring it next month and I would buy it.

    Cool coin. I am growing to really like sestertii. My latest is a Commodus with the reverse of Commodus dresses as Hercules.

    yeeeehhaaa, ro1974 => wow, that coin is gorgeous (congrats!!)

    Super slinky eye-appeal (that's a very sexy coin, my friend!!)

    ... ummm, I only have one Lucius Verus example, but it is quite attractive as well (of course that's merely my opinion)

    Lucius Verus AE Sestertius
    164 AD
    Lucius Verus & Victory with Shield
