kc's sestertii

A very nice sestertius indeed !

One more with a beautifull patina

Belle ! Bravo !

Nice bust, nice coin and interesting variant. I like it.

Salut les sesterces sont de toute beauté, portraits fantastiques! (vous ferez la traduction )

Thank you all, I am very happy!

Maybe the revers was struck with a medaillon die???

...je ne pense pas... aucun médaillon n'a été frappé avec ce revers... il s'agit plutôt d'une omission du graveur... au fait quel est le poids de ce sesterce ?...

Rather a mistake or a forgetting of the scalpatore.

the weight is ca. 14.8g

yes, probably just a mistake of the die cutter...

Another coin from the Numismata Munich:



Augustus Dupondius
Obv. DIVVS AVGVSTVS PATER, radiate head left
Rev. PROVIDENT S C, altar
Mint: Rome, 22-30 A.D.

RIC Tiberius 81

very nice coin with a splendid patina, a "must" kc, we want more!!

wonderful Divus Augustus pater dupondius! (struck under Tiberius)

really nice!

Nice one ! Great patina indeed.

Très sympa ce Dupond

thank you again!!!!

Une bien belle acquisition que voilà
