Folks are posting their wins today, so I will break the @Bing Rule and post mine before it is delivered into my grubby paws. But, hey, CNG has ALWAYS delivered fast and furious to my doorstep!

Very cool, I dig the "fulvia" victory! she was an interesting lady, here's a funny painting of her hanging out with cicero's head...lol....(from wikipedia)...
Great coin. I almost bought one of these a couple of weeks ago at a coin show. As for coins of Marc Antony... Here are mine. The last one is a quinarius the others are denarii.
Nice! Yet another coin that needs to be on my want list. Marc Antony is missing from my collection and I can't have that...
Oh, wow @Orfew , I forgot we have the "Thus Quoth the Raven, Nevermore!" twins! (I keep thinking of the Alan Parson's Project). RImp Lepidus Mark Antony 43 BC AR quinarius 13.9m 1.82g Military mint TransAl Gaul pontificate Cr 489-3 Syd 1158a RSC 3 RARE
WOW!! What a great score!! Congrats @Alegandron I seem to recall I lost out on a similar type month ago...Damned budget always gets in the way
I have that "album" .... awww, sweet-sweet vinyl Anybody that still knows Alan Parson's Project, is smokin' weed at the moment!!
I almost forgot about this example (Yep, it needs an upgrade from a lousy 'practice photo') ...one of the very few I still had after I sold off my collection about five years ago. A bit ragged and rough but it's Octavian and Antony:
