I didn't see a Pertinax, and I looked through his completed listings as well.
I buy coins, not plastic. If there's a nice coin available that I want, at a price I'm ok paying, I don't care if it's raw or in a PCGS, NGC,...
I'm not sure I'd call that a mistake.
I have a couple of CWTs from the personal collection of Susan Trask, which I bought directly from her. Those are currently my only pedigrees, but...
Hmm. That reverse image of the SLQ looks weird. I'm not sure what's going on there. The surfaces just look funky, and it almost looks like...

I don't know enough to say for certain if it's real, but what you appear to have is this:...
I concur with everyone else so far. Keep the first one. It has the whole word CAESAR and overall much better eye appeal.
Nope, they don't fit in my album. :D
This is totally true. I used to sell security systems. There is research on this.
I see the appeal of these, but $3500+ is way too much for me to want to spend on them. I just take comfort in the fact that there's $7000 out...
Nice.
