I had some items that I was supposed to bid on today. Work got in the way and I didn't remember till the auction was over. Oh well, I didn't "need" them anyway.
Great looking coin @bcuda ! These aren't easy to find with such nice detail + Lovely patina...Congrats!
Most of the ones I have seen have the head of Augustus and only one bull on the reverse. I have not seen many of this style at all.
Yep! They're are quite difficult to find.....Especially in this condition!... A very good pick up ..Well done and a really nice addition to your collection..
@Prez2 @Justin Lee @Chris B and @Spaniard Thank you all for your comments ! Also sorry Justin and Chris that you did not get your bids or get to bid . I missed out on two other bids that I thought I would get before this one, that I won. Just goes to show you just never know.
Nice catch. These are often $150+ in this condition. Interestingly, the very last lot in the auction today also had one in a small group. I wonder how it compares on the reverse:
