I agree. While I'm personally not in it only for the investment aspects (I thoroughly enjoy the coins themselves), the investment opportunity cost...
I will hopefully be attending NYINC for at least one day but I'm not sure when yet...and unfortunately will likely not know until the last minute.
Now if only it didn't take 45 minutes to load :(
I'll second Ardatirion's pronunciations. On the Latin/Roman side, many words tend to have "i"s like "ee". I've heard some variety in his name but...

Great start! Now the fun starts of learning about each of the emperors you just acquired :)

I felt that I overpaid for this coin as I originally didn't like it in-hand when I received it, but the next day, I picked it up again in the...
Great coin - this elephant type was minted for the inaugural games of the Colosseum, definitely an appealing historical tie-in.
Thanks for the feedback, everyone. The owner of the coin has already sent it off to NGC so we'll have to wait to hear back from what they say.
However, after the sting of being outbid wears off and some time passes with the next auction being posted, all is reset. I would have not been...
