Jeff 11 Valued Member United Kingdom 497 Posts	Posted 11/29/2009 12:22 pm Picked this up for an astonishing £4 in a box of mainly modern junk coins a few days ago. I've established its a sestertius and in a lovely high grade, but haven't found an example of this exact type showing what looks like victory advancing holding a palm frond. Any info much appreciated. Thanks! www.kingstoncoincompany.co.uk Report this Post to the Staff
