<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikey Zee, post: 2294030, member: 72818&quot;]Among the last purchases from this months &#039;coin budget&#039; are the following posted examples (and a few more pending confirmation of winning bids just prior to X-mas). I have a SPECIAL fondness for the&nbsp; &#039;King of Bronzes&#039; and both have aspects/devices I find particularly appealing, despite some wear, weak strike and so-on. As a combined lot, they cost me about $200.00 shipped---a price I suspect many would find excessive and others reasonable...IMHO, it is a fair price (if a tad higher than I preferred to pay) for the type and grade and complements those I have of different metals and denominations.</p><p><br /></p><p>Trajan Decius, Orichalcum Sestertius, Rome mint, 249-251 AD; 14.89 grams, 31.0 mm</p><p>IMP C N Q TRAIANVS DECIVS AVG; laureate, cuirassed bust right.</p><p>PAX AVGVSTI; Pax standing, facing head left, raising olive branch in right, tranverse long scepter in left; S C flanking fields.</p><p>RIC IV 125a; Cohen V 93</p><p>[ATTACH=full]460207[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Gordian III, Orichalcum Sestertius, Rome mint, July 238 AD; 16.67 grams, 30.1 mm</p><p>IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG; laureate, cuirassed bust right.</p><p>AETERNITATI AVG, Sol standing slightly left, radiate, nude, chalmys over shoulder;</p><p>Raising hand, commanding the sun to rise.</p><p>RIC IV 297a, Cohen V 43</p><p>[ATTACH=full]460208[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Please post ANY Sestertius or any coin(s) of Trajan Decius or Gordianus that you may have.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
