Rdwarrior Valued Member United States 266 Posts	Posted 01/28/2018 10:36 am Sestertius were made from brass, so I would think you have a Trajan sestersi Report this Post to the Staff

travelcoin Pillar of the Community United States 1120 Posts	Posted 01/28/2018 11:09 am I would say that it's a Sestertius. I've seen a few of the Dupoondius types and they have a radiate head. My guess would be Fortuna on reverse but it's too worn to say with certainty. I have a similar type Trajan. Report this Post to the Staff
Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 01/28/2018 11:27 am Agree with Bobl on this one looks like double exergue line with S C under.This maybe wittles it down a bit. Edited by Palouche 01/28/2018 11:29 am Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/28/2018 1:10 pm The brass color suggest it's a sestertius. You said you want this coin. Are you looking to buy it? If so I wouldn't spend any more than a few dollars on it. You would be better off searching for one in a better grade. Report this Post to the Staff
