<p>[QUOTE="Rudi Smits, post: 1665429, member: 44944"]Check this one : a very rare hybrid sestertius : obv : Philippus II (the son), rev : SAECVLARES type with ... COS III on the cippus. And that, my dear friends, is a rev type of Philippus I, as his son never made his 3rd consulship ! Mine is best of only 3 found on the internet (and reference books, and collection books, and private collections, and public collections aso...). Unfortunately, some dodo had great fun scratching the patina off around the middle 'I', but one can clearly see the bronze underneath, so it is definately not a cut out in the patina to make it look a 'COS III'. It IS a 'COS III'. Let there be no doubts ;-).</p><p>Happy to share the extremely rare beauty with my CT friends ![ATTACH]246929.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
