It's a beauty. Are you going to leave it in the slab?

It is a lovely coin. The portrait is really beautiful.
If it were mine that slab would meet my hammer post haste.

Thanks you all for nice comments. I am planning to leave it in as for now. Do most of you break out ancient coins? I have broken out some Franklins and a couple of Morgan dollars. I am not in this to make a profit; however if for some unfortunate reason I need funds or when I'm gone my family can get most out of it.

We don't like seeing ancients slabbed, they were meant to be handled.

I do like touching my coins, but I hardly ever open even 2x2s, and if I had an ancient coin in a slab I probably would've left it there. Doubt I can afford one, though!
I currently have three coins of the 12 Caesars; two of them appear to be the exact same type of Caligula (I should post them sometime, they're very different in size, but do appear to have the same legends), and the third is an utterly terrible quality Claudius as.
That's a really beautiful Augustus, though! And those two babies on the reverse are a nice bonus. (I wonder how old they were at the time...)

I break it free an then save the slab. Each serial number can be searched via their site (with pics) and you can examine the coin there. I believe you can also re-slab the coin at a discount (if need be).
Oh yeah, what a coin! It's absolutely beautiful.
Congrats

Very nice coin!
This is a type where the long reverse legend is so often not fully struck on the flange.
