A great coin David.  When will we all be able to see and read the addenda?

Here's mine, although it's  RIC 757

Congratulation

Great coin David. Congrats on adding this interesting piece of history to your collection.

My V 757 was purchased in 1985, being the second Flavian coin entering my collection, after a Domitian sestertius.

I love this series and its style.

Congrats

When will we all be able to see and read the addenda?

I wish I knew! Since the passing of Ted Buttrey earlier this year I would  assume stewardship of the Addenda is now primarily in the hands of Ian Carradice. I have not received any word on a future publication date.

Do you still have the first sestertius?

Glad to see it ended up with you, David.

I had been watching it and decided at the very last minute not to bid.  I wasn't aware of the history and significance of the type....I just felt it was a decent coin.

Do you have it in hand yet?

While doing some basic checking on it I found a post on some other collecting forum (I forget which one) with a different picture, by the owner when he first bought it.

Do you still have the first sestertius?

Of course, it still sits proudly in my trays, even if I confess to having placed not just one, but two specimens in better condition side by side with him. It's D 752, by the way.

Do you have it in hand yet?

Yes, it arrived over the weekend and it is much better in hand than the photos let on!
