[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 25586441, member: 8959"]This sestertius of Vitellius with reverse Concordia is the rarest coin in my collection of Roman coins. I have done a search of examples that exist in Museums, collections or auctions over the last 25 years and have found only 3 other examples. One example is in the British Museum, another in the collection of the American Numismatic Society. A third example was sold by CNG in 2007. My coin is in very low grade, much lower that the previously cited examples, but the emperors profile is clear as well as his name. For a coin found at an antique market for about 40 euros I"d say its not bad. Vitellius. AD 69. Æ Sestertius. Rome mint. Laureate and draped bust right / Concordia seated left, holding branch and scepter. RIC I 133. [ATTACH=full]1638079[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
