[QUOTE="Romancollector, post: 8224594, member: 106319"]So many beautiful sestertii of Marcus in this thread! I'll go ahead and share mine which was a NYINC pickup. At the moment this is my only coin of Marcus. I liked this coin when I originally saw it in a Heritage auction, but I wasn't 100% sold on it and decided against it. It reappeared in a CNG auction but I wasn't convinced by the photograph, so I passed it up again. When I saw it in person at the NYINC show I was very impressed and decided to purchase it almost immediately.
