Aha! Thank you for that explanation. So NC is nice to have, regardless of the change in meaning. (It also happens to be one of my favorite...
PS- This Juba II was in my watchlist in a recent auction. I could not afford to bid, so I was merely a spectator this time. It realized 320 GBP....
Oh! I've wanted a Juba Numidian for a while. Congrats! Nice portrait, and look how well the building sits squarely on the flan (except that...
Wow! Cool! An NC-4! Now, what the heck is an NC-4? LOL ;)
