MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1578 Posts	Posted 01/25/2014 12:28 pm I was taking some pics of some of my older stuff and was about to put this group on the bay when I noticed the bottom left reverse looks like someone riding an elephant to to left, or am I seeing things? Here is the front, just in case it helps, You will never soar like an eagle if you hang around with turkeys..... Report this Post to the Staff

MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1578 Posts	Posted 01/25/2014 12:46 pm I can't make any of the reverse legend so don't know if it was for the games or not Ben, it's defo Philip, the visible part of the legend 'ILIPPUSAVG'. Had to check on the elephant though, didn't trust my eyes lol. You will never soar like an eagle if you hang around with turkeys..... Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3466 Posts	Posted 01/25/2014 8:24 pm Not only is it a Philip I with an elephant but it appears to be an 'As' not a sestertius. Sear lists the As (9041) at $65 in F I would challenge you to find one. As a long time collector of bronze I know that starting with Septimius the As becomes increasingly hard to find at any price. I would hold off selling it or list it separately at a respectable price. While fairly low grade these just don't grow on olive trees ! Report this Post to the Staff
