Elagabalus AE Sesterius

I took a 'chance' with a new seller

3 Sestertii for a very reasonable price.
Always risky with overseas shipments.
I think it paid off nicely this time !

It has a very nice 'finish', patina or toning?

Perfectly preserved coins are great but part of me feels they should all look their age, there is something more honest and interesting about them in this state.

From the sellers photos it looked like it could use some additional effort. In hand I think I like it the way it is.
