<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Justin Lee, post: 4847977, member: 87404&quot;]I&#039;ve been feeling like I&#039;ve been buying up loads of sestertii for peeps I don&#039;t have (or dupes that are too good of a deal to pass up). For example, here are 6 coins that were delivered yesterday from Colorado: 5 sestertii and a Republican snack...&nbsp; (some of them came with original tag/envelope! I reached out to the seller to inquire about the previous collector/collection.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I just got another Philip II sestertius not much more than a week ago (haven&#039;t photo&#039;s it yet), but this one was a bit nicer and about the same price as the other lesser one, and I think I had gotten a good deal on that lesser other one too, so I just <i><u>couldn&#039;t</u></i> pass this one up! He has so much of his hair left, and the reverse type is less common than the left facing Principi Juvent type.</p><p><img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2020/09/incollage_20200905_173005787.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been looking at filling up my Severan sestertii and recently got a Caracalla, so I had to get one of his unfortunate brother, Geta. Again, this one was underpriced with a very nice bust reminiscent of his father, especially his beard. The envelope discusses some historical timing of the issue, but I haven&#039;t corroborated yet. It also has a very interesting reverse type with a reclining river god and another mysterious mini figure...</p><ul> <li><font size="3">Reverse die match??<a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=693562" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=693562" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=693562</a></font></li> <li><font size="3">Obverse die match?? <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4592538" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4592538" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4592538</a></font></li> </ul><p><img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2020/09/incollage_20200904_181803249.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2020/09/incollage_20200905_174329081.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>There are the later wives of the soldier emperors that I doing have. I recently added an Otacilia Severa, so this Herennia Etruscilla can keep her company. She has such a pleasant and pleasing bust of her, but the reverse is double struck making a very short Pudicitia.</p><p><img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2020/09/incollage_20200905_172811155.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2020/09/incollage_20200905_174213020.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And to further keep her company, here&#039;s an even later Salonina to join them (VENVS GENTRIX). I feel like I had previously mentioned that I had gotten a coin labeled as Gallienus (an honestly passed my checks from the photos) but upon doing some cleaning to remove some dirt to reveal more obverse legend turned up as Volusian sestertius. So I&#039;m still looking for a deal on a sestertius of her husband. I also got a sestertius of her father-in-law that I need to photograph.</p><p><img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2020/09/incollage_20200905_173408640.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I already have a Crispina sestertius, but this one has a nice long neck and stunning detail on Salus on reverse! And it has an interesting obverse legend with IMP COMMODI AVG at the end. </p><p><img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2020/09/incollage_20200905_173225220.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And here&#039;s the Roman Republic snack (or desert?): a big semis from the staff &amp; club series (cf: <a href="https://cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=240259" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=240259" rel="nofollow">https://cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=240259</a>) .</p><p><img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2020/09/incollage_20200905_173617146.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2020/09/incollage_20200905_174053789.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Which is your favorite?
