Picked up a 'group' of Postumus AE Double Sestertii
While I would love to keep everything I acquire reality keeps interfering with my dreams.
The original intent was to keep the 'green' one and hawk the rest. Well now I am torn between these two.
Each one has its merits.
I need sleep on it me thinks.

Keep the second one and send me the first. Both are nice coins, but I think the second one is the better of the two.

I think you will get some interest otherwise I may get a couple more steals from you ;). You still have 4 days left. I really like them I just won my Postumus this weekend and can't wait to see it. The Caracalla jumped right out of my price range quickly!

At first sight I thought #2 was the pick of the litter.
Nice green patina good portrait and round flan.
But the more I looked the more #1 interested me.
Unusual square cut flan nice clean full legend the interesting indent (test mark?)
and well it has a ship ! Who doesn't like ship reverse types ?
So now I must choose. Well I will take my time about it.
But I do like ships .......

i'll go with ben, my first thought was #2 (color), but that full legend on number 1 is nice.

We all think the same way. First one has a full obverse, and an interesting reverse.
