Claudius II "Gothicus" Much bang for your buck. Congrats.
Can't lose on that, for a buck!
That's an admirable ambition, for sure.
What made you pick this one, DR? I totally approve. Just wondering.
Ahh, yes. The Dragon Deacon's Cave. A place of myth and legend. And treasure. Lots of treasure. [IMG]
You know I like that type. :) Mine is away at NGC right now. Ancient Roman Empire: silver "Capricorn" denarius of Vespasian, struck by Titus...
