    That coin is just absurdly beautiful, especially the reverse. I can't find a thing to dislike about it!

    Rev.: FELICITAS PVBLICA; S C in field Felicitas stg. l., with caduceus and cornucopia

    I'd call it correctly graded and a very good looking coin I would be proud to have. It is nice to see someone not following the trend toward making everything mint state. I recently traded away a very similar as with similar surfaces because the other party was more impressed with its grade than I was. In a slab, it will be hard to tell the difference. I hope you keep this one free.
