That was my thought too. Then if you really want it at pcgs, once it's in a straight grade holder somewhere you could try a crossover. Maybe that...
When you did a show submission, did you crack and resubmit or did you go for reconsideration or submit it in the old holder in some way?
It looks like enhanced tail feathers to me based on your photos, but I agree it would likely get a details grade. Definitely not an MS grade.
Those are nice coins! I would suggest delving more into the history and finding something you find historically fascinating and find a top quality...
That was my understanding of it also. An Aureus was worth roughly a month's pay or so.
Nice coin Rob! That will make an excellent addition to your collection!
It's a cool piece and neat you can see the curve from being struck on a roller die. They are very small coins!!
What grade is this one? I just submitted a really nice 1754 example.

Thanks! This should go nicely with the rest of the office decor! I've got some cool nationals hanging on the wall and a few other coins displayed...
I am SUPER excited to have this complete to hang up in my office! I have had both the coin and the bag for about 5 years or so and have always had...

Honestly, I don't think there is any actual definition of fine style besides the style being more artistic than not. It is subjective and opinion...
Thanks guys! I was very excited to be able to pick it up.
I was fortunate to be able to pick this coin up in the last week. The toning is gorgeous and it's in an old NGC no line "fatty" as a bonus. I...
Here is my example of that type and one of the few denarii I have. The toning on this piece is very nice in hand and there is a significant amount...
I believe that is an older copy that you showed, but it's still cool to have for free! Here is my example. I was lucky to win it at the...
