<p>[QUOTE=&quot;randygeki, post: 1486466, member: 13719&quot;]#3 is a tie between these sestertii.&nbsp; Of the two, I like the one of Pius the most but thy are both really great coins.&nbsp; Both are nice and heavy, feel good in hand, have great portraits and wonderful patinas. I like the rive patina of the A. Pius sestertius more, and it&#039;s also a bit more scarce. A funny thing about these two is that they were outside in a car port for 30-40 years under a tarp.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Antoninus Pius AE Sestertius. 157-158 AD.
