Here is my very first Sestertius!

Picked this up at a local show and the dealer was nice enough to trade.

RIC 560 or 564 as listed below. Not sure what the difference is.
Trajan AE Sestertius. 104-107 AD. IMP CAES NERVAE TRAIANO AVG GER DAC P M TR P COS V P P, laureate bust right, slight drapery on far shoulder / SPQR OPTIMO PRINCIPI, SC in ex, Dacia, in attitude of mourning, seated left on pile of arms; trophy before
34.5mm and 24.87 grams

Sestertii with full legends, even when well struck and little wear, are very scarce, and are worth $100's.

This is a nice coin to start out with, despite the amount of wear.
