Everyday on the green side of the grass is a good day.

Today is Antonius Pius' birthday. Born September 19, 86 AD at Lanuvium, Italy and rule Rome from 138 to 161 AD. He was one of the Five Good...
Your wife must be a gem, but her bar seems rather low. :wacky: My wife married me cause she was too young to know better.
Careful not to take off the patina or scratch the patina. That will take away from the coins looks and value.
A few years ago I did the same. I bought a large lot of uncleaned coins of Ebay with the expectation I might find a few gems among them. Nada! I...

A gift you say? Nice gift. I need more friends.
The OP coin is not a bad looking coin. What is the size and weight? It feels good to correctly ID and attribute any coin. This one seems...
I think this is close, but when I was looking on line earlier, most in that price range were not as detailed as the OP coin. I might say $90-125....
As do many of us, but then the mystique and allure might be dispelled.
