Congrats! I had wondered when you’d add one of these to your collection. What an incredible type it is!

 

I am so so happy that you got this coin, Ancient Joe. I was really hoping that you would add it to your collection at some point.

Good job!

Wow! That's an incredible piece and one which I haven't seen before. Thanks for sharing!
