here are my two last coins of 2013...

this one has a recent scratch on the obverse (it wasn't me!), but is otherwise in pretty good shape.

Yea but you had some slam dunks this year ski....

Chris- I like the Diocletian more than the Caracalla although the Caracalla is nice the recent damage hurts just a little. Glad you were able to close out 2013 with a double play. I am pretty attracted to these Alexandria Tets as of late. I was able to procure two from a fellow member earlier this year.
