A few relatively recent purchases in this range: [IMG] NAC 78, lot 416, 2014, C. Curatius f. Tregeminus, Crawford 240/1a. $1400 after commission...
On the one hand, I pay "premiums" all the time without regrets; often enough I pay a record price for a particular type. I pretty much have to bid...
Here are some RR quinarii I don't think I've posted before: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I have only three. Here are two of them: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
The OP coin wasn't truly toned at all before cleaning, so much as it was simply dirty.

My example of the OP coin, ex Knobloch: [IMG]
I'm actually a rather competent and knowledgeable photographer out in the world and spent nearly two decades as production manager of a very...
Another quick phone snap. One of my absolute favorite coins; it deserves better. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I finally snapped a down and dirty phone pic of one of my Caesar elephants. Might as well post it here: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
This is indeed one of the prettiest RR types, tough to find fully struck. I waited a long time before finding the right one. I actually was the...
Zumbly nailed it of course. If this weren't a known fake from modern dies, the next question to ask would be the weight. A hybrid like this, if...
