    There is a coin show in Houston that has a few ancient coin dealers (Pegasi, Nilus, 900 Fine, and a few others that have some ancient coins for sale).
    I picked up a few treasures today. If you are in the area, maybe you can make the show on Saturday. As usual, I had a chance to see several other great coins. Some pics of both below.
    I picked up 4 RR pieces and two outside my normal collecting area cause they looked neat.

    Unfortunately I won't be able to make the show this weekend as I have a booth to mind at The Houston Book Show. Glad you found some goodies.

    Carausius Brother, can you spare a sestertius?

    1526739368150463446659.jpg Lovely quality Titia As. It's not in the Nordheim plates. Appears to have been part of a group lot. Photo of lot listing above.

    It is always good to see YNs (Young Numismatists) at coin shows and coin club meetings. It is good to see a few younger folks in the room full of gray hair.
    The first pic shows a YN at Pegasi's table. I heard Nick say answer those questions and see me at the next show. That is good advertising.
    Two YNs were buying coin books from Jack P. Jack gives YNs a coin or two when they visit his table.
    The last YN had a brief case to store his collection. I was not fast enough to get a pic of him looking though a US note with the ceiling light.

    I'm with @Bing. Like that capricorn. Like the looks of the Euboia, too, from what we can see of it.

    My wife and I bring a bag of ancients to give to YNs at shows.

    I just wish there were more shows to go to.
