echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 06/28/2015 2:53 pm The coin has nice detail. The surface is a bit porous and there appears to have been some bronze disease that has been treated. Overall not a bad coin and one I wouldn't mind in my collection. I would give it a grade of Fine. Report this Post to the Staff

GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1852 Posts	Posted 06/29/2015 02:38 am That is a very appealing As of Galba. The portrait is of a relatively uncommon style, and specially the SECVRITAS reverse is fairly scarce. Certainly much scarcer than the usually seen LIBERTAS and PAX types. I usually prefer green patina, but the level of detail on this coin is quite nice and I would grade it as almost very fine. Very nice and scarce coin overall. Report this Post to the Staff
