<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mat, post: 1477655, member: 21445&quot;]#2 This was one of those coins I knew something was unique when I first saw it. At the time though I didn&#039;t really pay attention other then it was a lifetime issue with a high price tag. After several months of price changes from the dealer I just clicked on it one day and viewed the photo a bit better. One thing that stuck out was the peacock on the reverse being on the seat of the throne instead of underneath. I made an offer on the coin and it was accepted. Once I got it in hand I researched it a bit more and after awhile &amp; some other collectors help, my suspicions were correct in that its pretty rare due to the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>So it seems this may be the only type in a private collection while the others are in museums. Im always looking to see if another surfaces but so far it hasn&#039;t. For that this earns the spot of #2 favorite in my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i39.tinypic.com/33xvjbb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>FAUSTINA Sr. (138-141 AD)</p><p><br /></p><p>AR Denarius</p><p><br /></p><p>Lifetime Issue</p><p><br /></p><p>O: FAVSTINA AVGVSTA, Draped bust right.</p><p>R: IVNONI REGINAE, Peacock seated on throne and scepter behind.</p><p>18mm</p><p>3.5g</p><p>RIC-340, RSC-221 BMC (Antoninus Pius) 145 (same reverse die)</p><p><br /></p><p>Ex Robert Kutcher Collection (Triton X, 8 January 2007), lot 1606 (part of)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
