    Looks pretty close to me :) Here's a picture I took a couple of years ago.

    Also, I'd love to have a sestertius with a (natural) purple patina like OPs coin. That'd be amazing!

    Pretty cool. I was fooled for a second that it looked like a crummy double sestertius of Postumus.

    I must admit, I quite like that. Would be an interesting object to hold and ponder the contours of our ever-present satellite.

    But then I sometimes find corroded coins attractive in their own unique way as well, so maybe it says more about me than about anything else!

    This coin is an appropriate post in this thread. Can anyone tell me why?
