Message:: [QUOTE="zumbly, post: 3230365, member: 57495"]Nice one, David. Those Judaea Capta bronzes seem to get really pricey really quick, even with just small increments in condition. At about $170, I thought this Sextus Pompey denarius with the Catanaean Brothers reverse was a nice enough bargain that I would have played it as my next coin in the recent Imperator challenge, had I made it past my last round.  Its condition is the very definition of modest, but the design on the reverse is much more complete than many examples out there that would have cost more and yet be worth less to me.
