<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mat, post: 1323177, member: 21445&quot;]I was never in the market for a lifetime issue of Faustina Sr. but this one had popped up a few months ago &amp; I saw it in my usual new listing run, and this isnt Ebay. After thinking about I knew something was special about it. Instead of the usual <b>Peacock beneath throne and scepter behind, this was seated on throne.</b> not a single online reference had this particular type &amp; only one on a old CNG auction mixed lot, which was actually this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Well I bought the coin and thanks to Ardatirion &amp; Curtis Clay, it is indeed a fairly rare type. Below is the Curtis writeup &amp; of course the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i39.tinypic.com/33xvjbb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>FAUSTINA Sr. (138-141 AD)</p><p>AR Denarius</p><p>Lifetime Issue</p><p>O: FAVSTINA AVGVSTA Draped bust right.</p><p>O:IVNONI REGINAE&nbsp; Peacock seated on throne and scepter behind.</p><p>18mm</p><p>3.5g</p><p>RIC-340, RSC-221 BMC (Antoninus Pius) 145 (same reverse die)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ex Robert Kutcher Collection (Triton X, 8 January 2007), lot 1606 (part of)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
