    2 nice walkers...I think the 1947 might be CAC worthy.

    So which of my 1911 Lincolns is prettier / more eye appealing ? Top coin PCGS MS65RB, bottom coin PCGS MS64BN. I can't decide.

    Finally acquired a tetradrachm I have had on my wishlist for almost a year. Made an offer and it was accepted.

    [​IMG]
    Augustus (27 B.C. - 14 A.D.)
    AR Tetradrachm
    Seleucis and Pieria. Antioch.
    O: KAIΣAPOΣ ΣEBAΣTOY, laureate head right.
    R: ANTIOXEΩN MHTPOΠOΛEΩΣ, Tyche seated right on rocky outcropping, holding palm frond; below, half-length figure of river-god Orontes swimming right; ςΛ (Actian Era date) above; in right field, ΔN (Caesarean Era date) above monogram (=ANTIOXIEΩN?)
    Dated year 36 of the Actian Era and year 54 of the Caesarean Era (AD 6)
    Antioch Mint, 5 - 6 A.D
    26.4mm
    14.07g

    Struck in the year that Augustus decided to banish Herod Archelaus from Judaea and set up the prefect/procurator system.

    I like the eye appeal of door #1 the most. I would not mind seeing the reverses. :)

    I really, really like that Augustus. I don't believe I've ever seen one like that.

    Thanks for the feedback. Looks like #1 wins by a near landslide ...

    Here are the reverses of both ...
