<p>[QUOTE="Salaethus, post: 4018170, member: 109856"]The coin arrived today - nothing quite beats a nice heavy sestertius in hand! I think even this quick picture with my phone captures the dark brassy tone better than the dealer's photo. [USER=80783]@Julius Germanicus[/USER], I think am starting to appreciate why you like these patina-less brass coins so much! Thanks again for the correction to my attribution, this is RIC 67<b>8</b>d not 670d as the dealer had described it. I am still searching for a photo of a true die match for this obverse, as I like to have them in my files.[ATTACH=full]1056609[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Septimius Severus, Æ Sestertius (30mm, 24.16g), Rome, 194 AD. L SEPT SEV PERT AVG IMP IIII, Laureate and cuirassed bust of Septimius Severus right / MONET AVG COS II PP, The three Monetae standing facing, heads left, each holding scale and cornucopia, SC in ex. RIC 678d, Banti 71, Cohen 338, BMC 522 note.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
