Message:: [QUOTE="Justin Lee, post: 3733303, member: 87404"]I know I've shared one of my personally exciting purchases already, but I wanted to share some of the others that have recently made it into my collection. I really enjoy sharing my coins with others, people that appreciate them as much as I do, people like you! Also, I'm looking forward to attending my local coin club tonight (we've been on summer break) and sharing with my face-to-face coin friends! Which coin is your favorite? And please share whatever you deem relevant. <img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2019/09/collagemaker_20190925_185005259.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />Septimius Severus, Ruled 193-211 ADAE Sestertius, Struck 193 AD, Rome mintObverse: IMP CAES L SEPT SEV PERT AVG, laureate head right.Reverse: VICT AVG TR P COS, Victory, winged, draped, advancing left, holding wreath in extended right hand and palm sloped over left shoulder in left hand; S-C across fields.References: RIC IV 656Size: 30mm, 21.2g <img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2019/09/collagemaker_20190909_183615207.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />Faustina I, Wife Of Antoninus PiusAE Sestertius, Rome MintStruck in 151 AD as 10-year remembrance of her death.Obverse: DIVA FAVSTINA, veiled bust right with stephane.Reverse: AETER-NITAS, Fortuna standing left holding globe and rudder.References: RIC III 1107cSize: 33mm, 23.9gNotes: Very scare.(Thank you [USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER] for validating my identification and adding more insightful commentary!) <img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2019/09/collagemaker_20190925_185409638.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />Maximinus Thrax, Ruled 235-238 ADAE Sestertius, Rome MintStruck 235-236 AD, 2nd EmissionObverse: IMP MAXIMINVS PIVS AVG, laureate, draped, cuirassed bust right.Reverse: VICTORIA AVG, Victory, winged, draped, advancing right, holding wreath in extended right hand and palm in left hand, S-C across fields.References: RIC IV 67Size: 30mm, 17.0g <img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2019/09/collagemaker_20190915_172252446.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />Hadrian, Ruled 117-138 ADAE As, Struck 125-128 AD, Rome MintObverse: HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS, laureate bust right.Reverse: COS III, Salus, draped, standing right, feeding out of patera in left hand snake held in right, S-C across field.References: RIC II 669cSize: 25.5mm, 9.1gNotes: Superior design and rendering of bust of Hadrian on obverse.
