[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 4313622, member: 80783"]A little update: I was relieved when I received the news that my OP Sestertius (along with four others) caught one of the last flights from Hamburg and despite the Corona-caused shutdown arrived safely in sunny California (instead of getting lost somewhere in-between). David Sear certified it as genuine and a previously unrecorded variant: RIC 141 var. (trophy instead of [I]aquila[/I] over Mars’ shoulder) = BMCRE 58 = RCTV I 2208; CBN 108 var. (trophy) = Cohen 79; CBN 104 var. (trophy and legend ends P M TR) = Cohen 79; Mazzini 80 var. (Mars holds [I]aquila[/I], but obv. legend ends P M TR) = Cayon ([I]Los Sestercios del Imperio Romano[/I]) 29. Now I also have the exact size (which was unlisted by the seller); 35,64 mm and 24.29 grams, and better pictures: [ATTACH=full]1096810[/ATTACH] The only thing I am not sure about is how and when to have it sent back...[/QUOTE]
