<p>[QUOTE="Justin Lee, post: 3554869, member: 87404"]In my first month collecting, I found an ebay seller that wasn't known for selling ancients and snapped up 3 coins from him on the cheap, and this one was my fave. After a couple months, I had sold it to a coin club friend for a low $20 bucks and then almost immediately regretted it and then got it back from him a couple months later. I know it's not immaculate, but it is well centered and struck, nicely patina's (green!), legend is very readable, and it's big and chunky. I got it for $5.50. I estimate the value at around <a href="https://www.vcoins.com/en/Search.aspx?search=true&searchQuery=gordian+iii+viminacium&searchQueryExclude=&searchCategory=0&searchCategoryLevel=2&searchCategoryAncient=True&searchCategoryUs=True&searchCategoryWorld=True&searchCategoryMedieval=False&searchBetween=0&searchBetweenAnd=0&searchDate=&searchUseThesaurus=True&searchDisplayCurrency=&searchDisplay=1&searchIdStore=0&searchQueryAnyWords=&searchExactPhrase=&searchTitleAndDescription=True&searchDateType=0&searchMaxRecords=100&SearchOnSale=False&Unassigned=False&searchOrderBy=price_asc" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.vcoins.com/en/Search.aspx?search=true&searchQuery=gordian+iii+viminacium&searchQueryExclude=&searchCategory=0&searchCategoryLevel=2&searchCategoryAncient=True&searchCategoryUs=True&searchCategoryWorld=True&searchCategoryMedieval=False&searchBetween=0&searchBetweenAnd=0&searchDate=&searchUseThesaurus=True&searchDisplayCurrency=&searchDisplay=1&searchIdStore=0&searchQueryAnyWords=&searchExactPhrase=&searchTitleAndDescription=True&searchDateType=0&searchMaxRecords=100&SearchOnSale=False&Unassigned=False&searchOrderBy=price_asc" rel="nofollow">$60-90 retail</a>.</p><p><img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/collagemaker_20190326_215036930.jpg?w=723" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>Gordian III, Ruled 238-244 AD</b></p><p><b>AE32 Sestertius, Moesia, Viminacium</b></p><p><b>Struck 241/242 AD (RY 3)</b></p><p><b>Obverse</b>: IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG, laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right.</p><p><b>Reverse</b>: PMS C-OL VIM, Moesia standing facing, head left, extending hands to bull and lion standing at feet on either side, AN III in exergue (RY 3 = 241/242 AD).</p><p><b>References</b>: SNG Cop 142, BMC 9</p><p><b>Size</b>: 32mm, 18.9g[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
