I think you'll find some attractively toned pieces in there. I would have gambled on it too.
I don't mean to cast a pallor of apocalyptic doom on your thread, but this artist's depiction always gives me the shivers... [IMG]
Good stuff. COS VII dates that aureus to 79, the year Mt. Vesuvius erupted and destroyed Pompeii.
I would start by soaking the coin in distilled water for a month, to see if it loosens any of the dirt. That won't damage it, and it could make a...
I just read the entire thread and saw the better picture, so I'll amend my earlier comment and concur with JJ that it may indeed be a scarcer...

As well they should. I've got four, and my money is better spent on them than on the outlandish waste perpetrated by the government. Even with all...
I'm not surprised. I've seen your videos. You're going to wear all your coins down to culls. :p
Harlan Berk's got one I like in that price range, ex Lewis Egnew collection......
The pics aren't good enough to venture a grade.
