<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1247173, member: 26302&quot;]Actually I was wrong, sorry. Sestertius were made of orichalcum, I was thinking only dupondius were. Since your coin appears orichalcum, and looks like what Mat linked, that part looks correct. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sestertius was the largest base metal coin the Romans made, and are extremely collectible and desired. If it is correct, (and to my untrained eye appears to be by your photos), its value would be north of $100, how far north depending on relative scarcity and condition. Better photos really would help.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Btw Johnny, posting pics of this coins in Ancient and World coin category maybe would get you responses from experts in the field. Lord knows I would never consider myself an expert in Early Imperial Sestertii. There are many on the board, though, who are, but mostly check that section.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
