You got a great deal on many of those. Great coins!

Wonderful addition. Does it have some nicer toning than the photo doesn't show? Kinda looks like it.
Yes, there were about 2 or three I threw away since they were the old labels with little info on them. But the current style ones I do.
I prefer touching them. Almost every ancient I ever got has been busted open from its tombs. And it isn't just NGC, I've had ANACS & IGC slabs...
A beauty. Now just drill a hole in it, run a nice chain through the hole & you got yourself a cool coin necklace.:troll::D
