R70 Diadumenian, AD 217-218, AE sestertius (31.89g). Obv: Diademed    $750
    and cuirassed bust r. Rev: Diadumenian standing l. holding
    standard; two standards to r. RIC 211. Sestertii of Diadumenian
    are quite rare with affordable examples often having flan cracks
    and/or porous surfaces. This one is somewhat darker than the scan
    with lovely old brown toning set off by brassy highlights. There
    is, however, some light tooling and smoothing of the fields as is
    typical with many coins originating in 19th century collections.
    This is also an extremely heavy 3rd century sesterius which
    rivals Julio-Claudian issues in size. aVF.
