<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Julius Germanicus, post: 5333722, member: 80783&quot;]Thank you everybody for your comments and coin pictures!!! I also have an Ant of Aemilianus which has a better portrait than my new addition, but then Sestertii are what I collect:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1225641[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>IMP AEMILIANVS PIVS FEL AVG - Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust of Aemilianus right with his right shoulder advanced</p><p>PACI AVG - Pax standing facing, head left, legs crossed, holing olive-tranche and transverse scepter and resting on column</p><p>Antoninianus, Rome mint, ca. September 253 A.D.</p><p>RIC 8, RSC 26, Hunter 13, Sear 9838</p><p><br /></p><p>My first Sestertius of Aemilian was this cast copy:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1225644[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The same overse die was also coupled with one reverse die with PM TR P I PP:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1225624[/ATTACH] </p><p>Despite being high grade, these Sestertii suffer from malformed flans like most bronzes of Aemilian. Mine is so far the only coin from this obverse die that actually has a complete legend so we will never be able to check the other letters.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I´ll keep mine because because it suits my &quot;need&quot; and I doubt I will find a better one for the price. I am fine with a couple of re-engraved letters because the alternative would be no letters at all <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Perfect Sestertii of Aemilian do not seem to exist, but I do like the sharp portraits on these two here!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
