<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3327721, member: 19463&quot;]My second photo shows a slightly larger section of the reverse of this coin.&nbsp; It shows a slightly unusual arrangement catalogs describe as an arm resting on a cornucopia that is placed next to the seat rather than held in arms as usual.&nbsp; Below the seat is a globe which my slightly worn specimen shows to have had bands (astrolabe?) which should be more of interest to people interested in astronomy than it is to me.&nbsp; Do these characteristics have anything to do with my buying the coin?&nbsp; Not really.&nbsp; I do find these points interesting to a degree but that takes us back to my desire to find something interesting in the coin after the fact.&nbsp; </p><p>These characteristics will ID the coin but again only for people who have studied these as a specialty.&nbsp; I do not.&nbsp; Perhaps that is why the seller was surprised I bought this coin.&nbsp; Perhaps it is true that I&#039;ll buy anything at least if it is fairly priced. The seller, our own Valentinian, tends to be fairly priced IMHO but that may be because he tends to have coins that have some interest other than their being mint state.&nbsp; I did not have one of these.&nbsp; Now I do.&nbsp; I did not know I wanted one of these.&nbsp; That one I can not explain.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]881721[/ATTACH]&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It hurts me that anyone would think I am being deceptive.&nbsp; Up is up.&nbsp; It is not Faustina Sr.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
