I have one of these! A pleasant surprise from my uncleaned lot days! I think this cat is my highest "ric rarity" coin.

 

You guys should fight over these high end items. That coin came to me in 1997 from a retired Army LTG/coin dealer/friend of mine. We still correspond but he does not sell low end coins anymore. I decided I did not need a Delmatius from every mint so......

 

well, you and your coin need to get out more hi Pish

 

i've got some coins here that look just like that.. one day i'm going to post them one @ a time and have a "name the coin" thread..but for now here's my garden variety

 

Nice Del Taco StevicusxVI!

 

Dalmation, eh? Must be way down on the rarity list. Umm, I don't have any

 

Delmatius, as shown on this coin, is also spelled Dalmatius on some issues like this from Thessalonika. His cousins made sure he did not last long enough for details like spelling to make any difference.

 

I like these as well.

Nice score, with a pedigree that can't be beat! I have a Delmatius lurking somewhere, but no pics of it.

I was ready to put up a fight for the Doug Smith coin I wanted, but I managed to score it for opening price .



I'm very pleased with the win, and it'll be keeping other Sep Sev river god provincial company.

Wow, those are awesome thread-additions, gang!!

I am very surprised that so many of you coiners had an example of this fella! (yup, another great showing from a very cool coin-crew!)

Awwww crap!! ... Pittsburgh just knocked-out Ottawa in the double-overtime period!! (congrats)
