    The coin above will be a perfect companion piece for my sestertius!

    Might as well shout out and potentially embarrass @Randy Abercrombie by outing him and thanking him publicly.

    I was with him when he bought that coin at the FUN show in Orlando this January, and admired it then.

    I think NGC should grade this one Ch XF, if not AU. Would be supercool if it got a Fine Style designation like my sestertius did.

    We shall see, next spring. I’ll submit this denarius to NGC when Randy and I return to Orlando in January for FUN 2026.

    I think that is a prerequisite for being a coin collector myself. I never met a coin collector I didn’t like.

    I’ve met some dealers I didn’t like. Not many. But a few have been bonafide jerkwads.
