    Nice Ceres Galba ro1974, Is it a sestertius or As? I've got a Ceres As, minted between July 68-Jan 69 AD, 29mm, 10.94gm, RIC 291. I believe your type and mine both rare. 2015-01-07 01.08.12-20.jpg

    Nice OP coin. You sure don't see many Galba AE''s and that's a nice one.

    My sestertius has been with me since 1990 but I m not the one that used it as a pocket piece resulting in the polished and worn surfaces.
