| 110b | IMP CAES C MESS Q DECIO TRAI AVG Bust laureate R., draped, cuirassed | 
		Very Rare. The only one I found for sale in over a 
		decade.  It was sold as a Trebonianus Gallus sestertius but the 
		letters "Q DEC" are visible and the portrait is clearly Decius.  In 
		appears to be a die match to the RIC 101b coin at the top of the page. 12.42g  |
