<p>[QUOTE="Mikey Zee, post: 2391083, member: 72818"]I decided to post this somewhat scarce, heavily worn and large bronze for discussion---obviously not for 'admiration' LOL. It caught my eye due to the 'unusual' reverse and because it was listed as a 32 mm sestertius of Antoninus Pius. The seller's estimate seemed more than a bit inflated at $125.00 and I initially valued it at about $20-$50 shipped and I later increased that to $50-$75 due to the scarce reverse (and size). Of course higher grades of this popular/trendy type can be a bit pricey.
