That's a nice coin and perhaps rare since I don't recall seeing one like this.

I ordered some coins December 20th and haven't received them yet so welcome to the club. lol

Very nice - I've been looking for a post abdication Diocletian at 'bottom feeder' prices for quite some time now, maybe I just need to stop being so cheap
