And I thought the rabbit hole was deep with colonials. I started browsing ancients last night and fell in love with my first coin. https://coins.ha.com/itm/byzantine/...tion-071515#

@mikef, that coin is a beaut! However, you could consider edging your way into the pool rather than jumping in with both feet.

I agree with Dave, it's an awesome coin but a lot of money. Most ancient coin collectors don't like to have them slabbed, we like the feel of them in out hands. I would recommend checking out Vcoins, there is so much great stuff there that wouldn't break the bank. https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/an...Default.aspx

That is a magnificent coin. On another note, I would take a hammer to that slab as soon as I received it. Keep in mind you are paying for the plastic in the price of the coin.

It is a beautiful coin, if I had the money it would be hard to pass up. Good luck with your bid.
