I can't help but compare it to the Hadrian sestertius in my Box of 20. I think its detail is as nice or better as my Hadrian, and the reverse probably better. I like the toning/patina on my coin, but yours would've certainly been "Box of 20-worthy" in my book! I'm curious to know what that cost you. If you feel like it, PM me, and I'll tell you what my Hadrian cost me. Might be comparing apples and oranges, but I dunno. They're fairly close. Maybe more like comparing nectarines and tangerines?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
