[QUOTE="Curtis, post: 24757289, member: 26430"]That is a nice addition! These early Sestertii can be very broad, so even with some wear they are usually impressive coins. My Nero Claudius Drusus Sestertius is unfortunately somewhat pitted. Edited from an old photo -- the color doesn't look this weird -- but I do think it was re-patinated: [ATTACH=full]1583490[/ATTACH] [INDENT]Ex Coll. of Philip in Yonkers, prev. Forum Ancient Coins.[/INDENT] I don't have many Julio-Claudian Sestertii either (at least not presentable ones!). I have a couple of the Claudius Spes ones -- both are probably from "unofficial" mints in Gaul: [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/claudius-ncapr-sestertius-kowsky-baker-ngc-cng-photos-jpg.1574249/[/IMG] [INDENT]Ex Richard Baker & Al Kowsky Collections[/INDENT] And this Divus Augustus, struck by Tiberius a generation before the coins above, and showing a similar design of a full-bodied figure seated left (but seated on a throne rather than a curule).
