Ave!

Diva Faustina Senior, Sestertius, Juno Reverse

Æ; 32mm/22.2gm. Wife of Antoninus Pius; Died 141 AD. Struck under Antoninus Pius.

Con/ After final appropriate cleaning, Good Very Fine? Minor roughness on the reverse, otherwise, sound green patina. Just soft dirt, you know the drill.

Obv/ DIVA FAUSTINA; draped bust right, hair elaborately waved and piled in bun on top of head.

Rev/ IVNO, S C across field; Juno standing left, holding patera in extended right hand and long scepter in left hand.

Ref/ RIC Vol III, 1143 (Antoninus Pius)

Seller's Note/ Yes, $225 for a semi-cleaned coin sounds high. But if you consider that a similar issue, stripped of all patina, sold at auction for $1100 a few years ago, our price seems low. ;-)
