Nice find!
Nice patina and details. I like that galley on the reverse.
The only thing "X rated" I see here is that there is what literally appears to be an X on one side of the coin. So perhaps that was a pun....

I never had the pleasure of doing business with Tom Cederlind, though I very nearly pulled the trigger on a lovely Roman Republican denarius he...
