    I Got this in the mail the other day and though I don't regret getting it, I wasn't the happiest with it despite it being a harder Fel Temp to find and getting 2 decent uncleaned freebies. The seller was great and the price was good, it just didnt float my boat so much when I got it.

    First one has a nice patina & second has a nice portrait.

    We all have coins that end up being a bit :sour: once they arrive.

    Well, I get what you're saying, I experienced it a few times with my US collection.

    Never have regrets about your sweet coins ... it's a hobby (it's supposed to be fun => coins are fun)

    Bosporian Kings, Sauromates I, AE 48 Units
    98-104 AD
    Sauromates I & Implements of Battle

    *sigh*

    although I still love this coin ... I do have regrets that I bought a coin that had "minor tooling"

    Yah, I don't want any of my coins to have minor/artistic tooling
