Message:: [QUOTE="Justin Lee, post: 4431760, member: 87404"]Great new coins, FF!! I enjoy finding good deals on coins on Ebay, getting them delivered, holding them on your hand, researching them, loving on them. I know I posted these last week in the free for all, but I'm still waiting on a delivery of my most recent purchases. Plus, these are still fresh to my collection (2 weeks) and are big, bronze, and beautiful (oh, and from the 'bay)... Checks all the 'B' boxes, so why not. <img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2020/04/incollage_20200411_081552552.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />Commodus, Ruled 177-192 ADAE Sestertius, Struck 184 AD, Rome mintObverse: M COMMODVS ANTON AVG PIVS BRIT, laureate head right.Reverse: VOTA SVSCEP DECEN P M TR P VIIII IMP VII, Commodus, veiled, togate, standing left, sacrificing over tripod from patera in right hand, S-C across fields, COS IIII P P below.References: RIC III 441cSize: 30mm, 20.0gNote: Reverse shows emperor sacrificing over altar for the 'ten year' vows.
