<p>[QUOTE="TJC, post: 2497128, member: 45502"]I am super stoked to have this coin! Dispite the corrosion it did not take me long to pull the trigger on this Trajan / Trajans bridge. A great piece of history that I have wanted for some time. In hand it is better than in the photos. The photos also show the coin with too much red. The coin in hand is more muted brown / light brown to tan color. There are cool die cracks just above the boat and below the bridge.</p><p>27.5 mm</p><p>11.18 grams</p><p><br /></p><p>Trajan, Dupondius</p><p>Rome mint</p><p>O: IMP CAES NERVAE TRAIANO AVG GER DAC PM TR P COS V PP, Radiate head right, drapery on shoulder</p><p>Rx: SPQR OPTIMO PRINCIPI SC.
