                                Description

     This piece was minted during the reign of Trajan, who ruled from
     98-117 AD. The empire reached its greatest geographic extent
     under Trajan, the direct result of his many military triumphs.
     The obverse of this type depicts the laureate bust of Trajan
     facing right, seen from behind, with legends
     IMP.CAES.NER.TRAIANO.OPTIMO.AVG.GER.DAC.P.M.TR.P.COS.V or VI. The
     legends GER.DAC. refer to his German and Dacian triumphs. The
     reverse type features Felicitas standing left, holding
     cornucopiae and caduceus, with legends SPQR.OPTIMO.PRINCCIPI.SC.
     Coin grades F/VG, with clear devices, a bold portrait, and most
     obverse legends visible. Only a few letters of the reverse legend
     are readable, including the SC. There are also a couple of
     obverse cut marks, as seen in the scan. Still a decent example of
     the type, with a solid portrait for the grade. Buyer pays
     postage/insurance, coin shipped on clearance of funds. PA
     residents please add appropriate sales tax. MC/Visa accepted for
     orders of $20 or more. For more ancients, please visit our WWW
     site at http://www.philly.infi.net/~mdgeary/ . Thanks!

                                  Bidding

          Roman Felicitas AE Sestertius of TRAJAN (Item #35250440)

                        Current bid          $20.50
                        Bid increment         $0.50
                        Minimum bid          $21.00

Registration required. eBay requires registration in order to bid. Find out

       User ID or E-mail address     Password (forgotten it?)


        Current minimum bid is 21.00
       Your maximum bid.

       Please type only numerals and the decimal point (if
       required). Do not include a dollar sign ('$') or commas
       (',').

       Binding contract.
            Placing a bid is a binding contract in many states. Do
       not bid unless you intend to buy this item at the amount of
       your bid.

       Proxy bidding for all bids
            Please bid the maximum amount you are willing to pay
       for this item. Your maximum amount will be kept secret; eBay
       will bid on your behalf as necessary by increasing your bid
       by the current bid increment up until your maximum is
       reached. This saves you the trouble of having to keep track
       of the auction as it proceeds and prevents you from being
       outbid at the last minute unless your spending limit is
       exceeded. (See an example of proxy bidding). Also, in case
       of a tie for high bidder, earlier bids take precedence. And,
       keep in mind that you cannot reduce your maximum bid at a
       later date. Unless otherwise noted, bids are in U.S.
       dollars.
            If you have bid on this item before, note that your new
       bid must be greater than your previous bid.
