[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3357907, member: 56859"]I think the price was great for the type and condition. Your coin has a wonderfully struck and centered reverse. You can clearly see the figure atop the lighthouse, the two Tritons, some details on the lighthouse, and all of Isis Pharia's headdress. Congrats on the wonderful acquisition! Mine is from Forum Ancient Coins four years ago. It was on sale yet I felt like the price was a still a bit high at the time (bought it anyway :D). Today I couldn't replace it for what I paid.
