 Not to worry BH. I have a couple of Republic coins to post next. I'm still a Romanphile (if that's a word).

This is really a great piece. I especially love the reverse, yet the obverse is also very pleasing and, is in a wonderful state of preservation. I think you are becoming a real expert in buying really nice coins. Keepem' coming Bing!
