Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 02/20/2013 2:02 pm I give this coin a five fruit salute, it is a type I have been chasing for quite sometime. I just never find one in the condition I want or in the price range that I can afford. Then when I do find one I have no money to buy it or I have committed to another piece. I admire this coin, above many others. The portraiture is fabulous and I also have a thing for Tyche and the Phoenicians. Daaannnng End I think you did super well- well enough that you needed to get rid of the first coin, you scored a great deal on the second one! Report this Post to the Staff

DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 02/20/2013 8:22 pm The one I have my eye on is quite reasonably priced, probably not as good details but as good to the eye since there is tarnishing around the details making them stand out. The interesting thing to me though is although it weighs exactly the same it is 23mm (a fair bit smaller than yours) yet doesn't seem to be missing any of the design. I am going to slow down a little though and give my next few coins some serious thought... Report this Post to the Staff
