<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blake Davis, post: 4376766, member: 91820&quot;]For those who like the coins of Septimius Severus there is a HUGE Very HEAVY example of this type being sold by Naville Numismatics zzz</p><p>I forget if it was 37 grams and 33 millimeters or the reverse 37 millimeters and 32 or 33 grams </p><p><br /></p><p>The auctions ends in six days or so. The opening bid of 50 pounds allowed me to very briefly think it would be affordable. It is now 350 pounds and therefore out of my league especially since I already have an example.&nbsp; My guess is it will go for twice that much and it would be worth it as it is a beautiful medallic example of a very rare coin.&nbsp; An obverse die match to my coin too which illustrates something about rarity.&nbsp; Still it is a great coin ....both of them I mean. If it is 37 grams it is the heaviest sestertius of Septimius I have come across - in fact I have only come across one sestertius that was heavier - an early Commodus I foolishly sold. A Divvus issue of Faustian I was a close second.</p><p><br /></p><p>What was the heaviest sestertius you have come across?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
