<p>[QUOTE="Gary R. Wilson, post: 4578564, member: 89935"]I know what you mean by willpower. When it comes to coins, mine seems to go out the window. I also try to stay within a modest price range, under $200 but when a sestertius comes up for sale that you have been waiting for, well modesty goes out the window. Here's a recent example which I posted recently. I got this from London Ancient Coins off of VCoins at a price under $500-yeah way over my budget. But I knew if I didn't get this coin, I would be kicking myself for quite some time because at the price they had it at I felt it wouldn't last long. Sometimes I look at coins for sale with one eye closed, which does no good.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1133704[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Agrippina I (Augusta)</p><p>Coin: Brass Sestertius</p><p>AGRIPPINA M F GERMANICI CAESARIS - Draped bust right.</p><p>TI CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG GERM P M TR P IMP P P around large SC. - Legend surrounding large S C</p><p>Mint: Rome (42-43 AD)</p><p>Wt./Size/Axis: 26.59g / 38mm / 6h</p><p>Rarity: Common</p><p>References: </p><p>RIC I 102 [Claudius]</p><p>BMC 219</p><p>Cohen 3</p><p>von Kaenel Type 78</p><p>BnF II Claudius 236</p><p>Provenances: </p><p>London Ancient Coins (LAC)</p><p>Acquisition/Sale: London Ancient Coins (LAC) VCoins $0.00 04/20</p><p>Notes: Apr 5, 20 - The Gary R.
