<p>[QUOTE="Justin Lee, post: 3738346, member: 87404"]I agree with you bunch, that there's something so satisfying about the heft of sesterti, and all 3 of them have that weight. Of all 3 my fave is the Septimius just because you see soooo many denari of him (I don't have any) and its refreshing to hold a bigger, bronzer coin of his and the portrait is pleasing (Doug, I like your reverse better though) and it's nice and smoothly worn. The Maximinus is decently preserved on the obverse, but the reverse isn't as nice as I was wanting when I purchased it (not the greatest seller photos)... I'm satisfied with it though. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> And that Faustina is just cool with her being veiled and her greenish glow <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie24" alt=":blackalien:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> with plenty of wear feels like a ghost coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have been busy lol I surprise myself at the quantity too.</p><p>Yes, I love sprues too! Tells the story of the coin and its "birth"... There should be a post where we can all share our sprue coins throughout history. Maybe there is...
