[QUOTE="thejewk, post: 3510774, member: 100136"]I've been looking for an example of the Concord Augustor type of either Lucius Verus or Marcus Aurelius with a good balance between affordability and condition since I started collecting at the end of last year, and spotted this sestertius on ebay a month or two ago. I've been quietly saving up in the hope that it would still be available, and thankfully it arrived today. In hand, the difference in tone between the dark and light brown is a lit more subtle, and as a result the coin looks even better than I expected. It is also the slightly less common variant with TR P II instead of simply TR P, indicating that it is slightly later. [ATTACH=full]931013[/ATTACH] RIC 1309(?) 33mm, 22.6g 161-162 AD IMP CAES L AVREL VERVS AVG CONCORD AVGVSTOR TR P II S C Share your coins of Lucius Verus, concordia types, or anything stressing dynastic themes.[/QUOTE]
