Rev: PONTIF MAX TR P COS P P (S C), Felicitas standing left, holding long caduceus and cornucopia
Ref: RIC 139
Sold on ebay Nov 05 for Euro 1,535.
Quote from Curtis Clay:-
" The Macrinus sestertius is rather heavily smoothed, and the hair, beard, and cuirass of the portrait are tooled and re-engraved. Add the long flan crack, visible especially on the reverse, and I think it was no great bargain at that price!".
