<p>[QUOTE="Limes, post: 3555176, member: 101013"]Nice idea for a topic. As a relative new member of this forum, i like to present to you my Commodus sestertius. I got this from an auction, where it was mis attributed. Actually when seeing it i did not trust it, because i could not find it in reference books. I went for it anyway, because of the green color and my wish to one day get a sestertius of all of de adoptive emperors. Later on when talking to the auctioneer, he found out it was indeed misattributed and found a similar, be it more pretty, specimen on CNG: <a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=217090" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=217090" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=217090</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>I am very happy with my coin! The obverse is a very good portrait. And the reverse is not so good, but sharp enough. Somehow the branch of pax is very heave... or she is just tired? I paid much, much less for it, than the CNG example. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]945016[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
