[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 2935256, member: 80783"]Nice Lugdunum coins all! I came. I saw. I bought. :) Your Augustus Sestertius is true awe-inspiring! What you have there is surely one of the very finest specimens known. Sadly, that it turn will make it impossible to complete the series at this level. As NAC puts it in your coin´s writeup: "high grade survivors are quite rare for Augustus and almost never seen for Tiberius". I do not even have ANY Augustus Sestertius yet so now that shall be my next task. Do you think a sufficient Augustus Sestertius "has to be" a Lugdunum or a contemporary eastern issue or would a Nerva commemorative do it for you? Even though arguably being a century "too late", those in my eyes have three advantages: - they are affordable, their portraits are of a more refined style, and they usually come in a higher grade. What do you think?[/QUOTE]
