Canefan Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 09/14/2018 9:29 pm I love this coin and am very happy to have it in my collection. Not sure if I will try to complete the 12 Caesar set or not. I really like ancients but haven't settled on a particular direction yet. Problem is I like everything. Report this Post to the Staff

orfew Pillar of the Community Canada 1269 Posts	Posted 09/14/2018 10:07 pm It is a lovely coin. The portrait is really beautiful. If it were mine that slab would meet my hammer post haste. Report this Post to the Staff
Canefan Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 09/14/2018 10:25 pm 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.

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5177 Posts	Posted 09/15/2018 07:56 am 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...) Report this Post to the Staff
travelcoin Pillar of the Community United States 1120 Posts	Posted 09/15/2018 09:54 am 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 Edited by travelcoin 09/15/2018 09:56 am Report this Post to the Staff

Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 09/15/2018 11:02 am Very nice coin! This is a type where the long reverse legend is so often not fully struck on the flange. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff
