Equally nice to see so many coins won by CT members! :) I only snagged a small fraction of the lots I bid on, but I'm [I]very [/I]pleased with my wins. My favorites... How beautiful is this A-Pi coin, and with an excellent photograph to boot! [ATTACH=full]1336380[/ATTACH] Reading Sev's writeup on the rare Commodus below, I just had to have it: "The IOVI DEFENS SALVTIS type is unique to Commodus.
