Amazing display and I love how everything is laid out. I used to do this with action figures, autographs & rare trading cards but as my interests...
Beautiful toning & good strike is right. It honestly doesnt look bad at all. If the price is right, I would have bought it with that "fault" too.
I like #1 myself, it has a bit more details on the eagle.
Deep down I am sure you did get shocked in some way. Slabs can shatter...like one of mine from ICG did. :/
Those are very nice examples. Very impressive. Seeing differences like that is what makes ancients fun. Dont see that with a boring morgan or...

Looks real to me but at that price, you can get so many other ones in nicer condition, heck I have one on the way with a much scarcer reverse & in...

Beautiful
I like the mars reverse on that too. Nice details on the bust. Just surprised at the bad rap him and his coinage get....
If the price is fair, pick it up.
Hmm, would think Nero & Commodus would be considered one of the notorious as well. Pius is probably my favorite emperor. I think many would...
:hail::hail: Beautiful stuff as usual & I am not a medal collector. I like the 1894 SWISS SHOOTING R-877a the best. Second would be the 1902 SWISS...
