Ha!
Man that is one ugly coin!!!! Send it to me and I'll get rid of it for ya.
I've found Vcoins to be a safe place to buy coins, but I've also found that the prices can be on the high side. I know the dealers have to pay to...
I agree with JA. Just take it back and chalk it up as a learning experience. You'll probably save yourself a future buyer by accommodating him now.
I like silver as well, but, I'm here to tell you, that many of the bronzes can demand much higher prices than the silver. I would refer you to...

Interesting coin.
Well, Alfred, you may not be new, but you're new to me. It will be nice to have another "expert" on the forum. On another note, I could never be...
My understanding is that it was issued under Sextus Pompey, 43-36 BC, with features resembling that of Pompey the Great.
