Whoa! Nice looking coin.

 

Way to cite the provenance... jerk.

 

Nice one!

 

Man...that looks harshly cleaned.

 

ancients are okay to clean, otherwise we would be most likely staring at dirt :kewl:

for example

 

Very nice, I like it even if its been cleaned. I've got some and they have been cleaned nicely.

Wonderful looking coin and I do believe that Tom was been a little bit sarcastic in his comments LOL

PS does she know you are two timing her? :whistle:

 

I've been soaking my three in olive oil for over a week now with little progress.

 

It may just be me but I can't see the pic. Firefox will not show it at all, and Chrome shows its a broken image.

 

It prolly got deleted from his files..I saved the pic, so I'll put it up later.

Gorgon is prettier. Send her here Stainless.....I will treat her with respect.

 

I see it now, great looking coin!

 

Looks like it was struck slightly off center.

 

Quite a nice portrait of hers Stainless

Q

 

Which lowered the price about $40 . Still, I bought it for the obverse portrait.
