New Lot: Finn's Coin Budget Goes "Kablooey!"

Spotted a lot of coins on ebay, and recognized some pretty serious goods in there. It was a small lot with a lot of watchers and strong bidding competition. I put in a bid on the strong side of middling and forced myself to look away so I wouldn't make a bid I would regret later. To my shock, I had won the lot!

And I am very much in the doghouse with my wife until I get the collareral buys sold off

First up is the prize pig of the lot:

Roman Imperial AE Sestertius
Divus Augustus commemorative
36-37 AD, under Tiberius

Obv: DIVO AVGVSTO SPQR, Divine Augustus seated, atop cart drawn by four elephants, each with rider
Rev: TI CAESAR DIVI AVG F AVGVST PM TR POT XXXIIX around large SC
RIC 68



Funny thing about rare, attractive and desirable coins - they seem to exchange hands a lot, and leave a paper trail wherever they go!

As awesome as it is, this coin will soon find a new home, because I need it to pay for the ones I intend to keep! If I can get $550 for it, that will cover almost 75% of the cost of the lot!
