    I agree Curtis. I will post a photo of the ticket when the coin arrives.

    Just received my 2. I like the coins but I’m sorely disappointed with what they call the original ticket.

    Carausius Brother, can you spare a sestertius?

    I wouldn't be too disappointed. That may be an auction house ticket noting a lot number. If you happen to stumble across the same coin type listed as lot 579 in a 1920s auction catalogue, even if the coin is not in the auction plates, you'll have strong circumstantial evidence for a provenance. This could prove more valuable than a handwritten collector ticket with no acquisition info. Of course, now you'll have to go search. :joyful:
