[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 4968190, member: 110226"]That's a nice coin for $30. A good acquisition. Sometimes a good coin comes out of a lot of sestertii. Earlier this year I purchased a lot of three sestertii from a seller in France, through eBay. The total cost, including shipping was $57. One of the coins turned out to be a very decent Faustina Junior sestertius (Juno reverse), not in itself a great rarity - it is quite readily available - but nonetheless a nice coin, a few issues (minor roughness, somewhat off-center, and a patina chip at 12 o'clock on the reverse) for $20, perhaps a bit more as the two other coins have some condition issues. [ATTACH=full]1194128[/ATTACH] This is the other Faustina Junior sestertius from that lot. As you can see, it is not nearly as nice as the Juno sestertius. [ATTACH=full]1194127[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
