The coin I posted sold a few weeks ago, I believe to Collecting Nut, just so you know.
Damn. Gotta watch your kneecaps around here.
This is the finest bust I've ever collected of Victorinus on an ant. It is every bit as well-carved as the busts you see on his few aureii......
Last year the old guy retired. Now a pretty woman delivers my coins. Life is good. :cigar:
