<p>[QUOTE="Blake Davis, post: 3212666, member: 91820"]Recently I came across what was described as a unique sestertius of Septimius Severus, which should be capable of being viewed at this link:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Septimius-Severus-Sestertius-Sesterce-Sesterz-Sesterzio-Unique-Unlisted/153212722419?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Septimius-Severus-Sestertius-Sesterce-Sesterz-Sesterzio-Unique-Unlisted/153212722419?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/Septimius-Severus-Sestertius-Sesterce-Sesterz-Sesterzio-Unique-Unlisted/153212722419?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The coin ended up being sold to a nominee of the seller - at least that's what I would guess from the fact that the buyer purchases 95% of his ebay items from this small time seller.

[QUOTE="Blake Davis, post: 3212666, member: 91820"]Recently I came across what was described as a unique sestertius of Septimius Severus, which should be capable of being viewed at this link: [url]https://www.ebay.com/itm/Septimius-Severus-Sestertius-Sesterce-Sesterz-Sesterzio-Unique-Unlisted/153212722419?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144[/url] The coin ended up being sold to a nominee of the seller - at least that's what I would guess from the fact that the buyer purchases 95% of his ebay items from this small time seller. Obviously the bidding wasn't substantial enough for the seller. I might have bid more for the coins, but I was a bit suspicious - it just did not make sense that this should pop up all of a sudden. The bust type seemed ok for ten years in, which is what I understood the reverse was commemorating, but the inscription was for an earlier time. However, if there is a reasonable liklihood of the coin being genuine I would approach the buyer and see if it is possible to work out a deal for the coin. The inscription just doesn't look right - what do you think?[/QUOTE]
