I'll go for VF-30, no CAC. I thought those critters didn't circulate. This one did as a 1st yr of issue.
Delaware?
I thought Californians only bought $50 gold pieces and stuff like that? These coins should easily be well over the measly $2K limit for you guys....
You mean like this? A hoard of Antonine (96 - 192AD) denarii I photographed while in Warsaw last year. Quite worn: indicating they were in...

I have a late AE trashy but haven't photographed it. I'll do so and post it here. Thanks for an excellent article, I'll follow this thread.
Certainly. Actually I got it in 2019: not exactly recently? [ATTACH] Claudius II Gothicus, 268-270. Denarius (Orichalcum, 17 mm, 3.64 g, 12 h),...
I'll be visiting the British Museum and will hopefully have the opportunity to see some of the non-displayed Roman coins in their archives. I'm...
