Yet strangely quiet and suspiciously at peace with this sudden change of lifestyle...

 

Check this one off also. Same grade, same TPG. Didn't do that on purpose. Just what I could afford.

 

She graded problem-free, maybe it looks worse on the pics as it really is... and I don't sleep at night either LOL

 

Picked up this toned beauty for $131 on Heritage last night. I like the green.

 

A cool shattered die+die clash error on a CWT.

 

This coin is CAC certified NGC MS67 1943 D

 

Got this in the mail today

 

Recently I did a trade with one of my favorite dealers for this Galba tetradrachm. I parted with my galba denarius, which was pretty low grade, and some ho hum ancients I had. I did come out ahead by a decent amount but im hoarding $ for now.

Some may not like the scratches, but I loved the chunky silver and the portrait was way better then my denarius. I dont find them distracting.

Also I updated my 12 caesars tray with this coin and much higher quality.

I may have posted these a while back, but these are much better pictures.

Latest coin to share is a caracalla denarius I picked up for a total of $15. A very common reverse but the year it was struck/legend, is a tad scarcer then the usual ones minted in 212 & 213 A.D., so I found when looking around.
