Nice!! One more rep! I would post some CT Fletcher videos...but I would get banned for a week! Also, do you know you selected the "WTT" or "Want to Trade" prefix?
I had to shovel snow off four clients roofs to cover that coin. Hard work/ 14 hrs/ does bring rewards I was off, so I got a good "workout" too.
Proof as to why you should not post your intentions here before bidding. Had I known this was out there, I might have violated my no Gorny ban and bid you up on this. It has a very nice obverse and of a size and style I shop for. I don't even want to look at your winning price. I will kick myself. Great capture.
I had spent all my coin $, so lucky for me I had some side jobs, end result I was able to get this beauty!
I used to only have gold coins, but thanks to members of this forum, I now also collect Silver Roman coinage
I was keeping track of the auction while working out on the computer (I don't have a smartphone/ just land phone) Only thing I have "smart" is my 60" HD TV. Otherwise, kinda like the "Ancients" unconnected. I just got back from, walking the dog, amazing how many people out there walking around like the zombies, glued to their devices, walking into traffic, even saw one woman walk into a light standard! The only time that I am connected is for a very valid reason, access a coin auction
