<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 24593559, member: 74282&quot;]I have a nice addendum to this thread. I recently added a sestertius with the spiked helmet to my collection. Just like my Denarius(and Phil&#039;s sestertius above) this coin was not correctly identified by the dealer so the price was more than fair and the dealer got a nice rise on the price he paid at the Stack&#039;s sale where it similarly went unnoticed so everyone&#039;s happy. It does have a little crack so it will be handled very carefully by me but I am thrilled any time I can find a nice sestertius for my collection, let alone one from this series that only has about 10 examples known. It came in an <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-new-ngc-airview-holder.399883/page-2#post-24593388" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-new-ngc-airview-holder.399883/page-2#post-24593388">NGC &quot;airview&quot; slab</a> but of course has been removed:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1562042[/ATTACH]</p><p>Roman Republic AR Sestertius(12.7mm, 1.12g, 11h), Anonymous(Uninscribed sibling of Corn-ear series), 211-208 B.C., Sicilian mint.
