FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3446 Posts	Posted 03/05/2014 1:11 pm I sold off a few coins in the last two weeks ...... The only way I can justify selling a coin is if I use half the proceeds to buy something new. As Fortuna would have it I stumbled across something just right. Geta AE Sestertius Obv. laureate bust of Geta right Rv. FORT RED TR P III COS II P P S C Fortuna enthroned Sear 7261 RIC 168b 20.77 grams 29-30mm A good lesson in overpriced shipping too. While the coin came in way under $100 the shipping was over 20% of the final cost ! I hate overpriced shipping ....... unless the coin is sold for 1/2 off that is. Additionally the coin shown in the listing was 'Black' as coal I am positively 'green' with joy ! "and a hey nanny nanny and a hot cha cha" Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3446 Posts	Posted 03/05/2014 1:44 pm They can be elusive ! I had a rather poor example which I sold a few years ago. Really just a portrait coin with no legend to speak of. This one fills one of those pesky gaps in the gallery. Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3446 Posts	Posted 03/05/2014 5:19 pm bpoc1 - the answer to your question is Sear (the commoners reference for ancients) gives AD211 for the year of issue. echizento - I would have preferred a different reverse as I have an As of Geta with the same "Happy Days Are Here Again" reverse ! But we beggars can't be too choosy about the deals when we find them ! Red Hope - The long and short of your question is yes. I spend my evenings searching for interesting coins ...... keeps me out of trouble. Or up to my eyeballs in trouble depending how you look at it ! Report this Post to the Staff
