The holder is a bit scratched but a nice coin with an almost cameo contrast on the obv.

Even My Cousin, the "globe-trotting, galloping" Vinny, would be forced to agree it's gorgeous. (Watch out! When the time comes, he might even outbid you for it. Tastes change when you get older.) 😉 🐓

Gorgeous. Looks like it is darn close to full bands as well. I can’t really see why it isn’t but in hand it may be apparent. If you ever want to part with this one let me know.

Dreams do come true sometimes. There is this one sestertius in my collection.....I actually was the underbidder in the auction for it. I lost it and I was heartbroken.....this thing is beautiful. Then, the highest bidder returned the coin because it's lacquered!!! And I was able to buy it for my highest bid. I still look at that coin almost daily and I'm so happy she ended up with me in the end.....I posted her here before but here's a refresher:

I started collecting coins as a kid in the early 1960s, Lincoln cents out of circulation. My parents helped by starting a penny jar, into which they would dump their pennies. I went through it periodically, and added prizes to my Whitman folder (which I still have).
My holy grail coins were, of course, the 1909-S VDB and the 1955 DDO. I never dreamed that I would ever own one. I did get a couple of 1909-VDB samples, both in fairly good condition.
Fast forward a few decades, and I've had a good year. I look at these with wonder almost every day.

I actually like these ones with the cap on a pole, because on the goddess Libertas’ holiday they freed slaves by giving them a cap. Reminds me of Harry Potter tricking Mr Malfoy into freeing Dobby by hiding a sock in a book that he knew Mr Malfoy would hand to Dobby. Giving an article of clothing such as a sock or a cap signifies freedom and Liberty. Liberty isn’t supposed to wear the cap, she gives it to a former slave signifying making them free men. Coins themselves represent freedom and liberty, because free men work and get paid with money whereas slaves work and don’t get paid with money. It all makes cents 😉
