Thank you very much Mikey
The certification was only as a third party opinion on authenticity. I waited 3 months for the grading, and had many back and forth emails with Mr. Vega in NGC and 5 other experts overseas.
This coin was first time seen, thus it was too much buzz and insecurity between numismatics.

 

I still have it in slab because I am making a custom made museum ? ( display) .inside is a magnetic field levitation, it will make the coins float in air and the slab helps to stabilize the rotation.
I will show you guys a little video from that project. I'm in 6-th month now and still a lot of technical little things. I changed the contractor 2 times.

 

Hi all,

Do I see a small Dog and a cornucopiae under the throne.?

Judging from the hyperlinks, I guess you copied and pasted this from a Forvm post?

 

Pietas looks like she's shrugging off a question. "Hell if I know..."

Looks like you need to treat that last one... the bronze disease appears to be recurring.

Note from CNG.
Under Trajan and Hadrian several series of bronze quadrantes were struck in the names of the imperial mines in Noricum, Dalmatia, Pannonia and Moesia (Dardania). These operations supplied metal for the mint at Rome, and perhaps were the sites of workshops to produce coinage for local circulation or as donatives. Some scholars believe these pieces were struck at Rome itself, and served some unidentified function, much as the contemporary "nome" coinage struck at Alexandria in Egypt. Whatever the circumstances, these pieces saw limited use, and, except for one rare type struck by Marcus Aurelius, were not issued at any other period.
