    Sellers pics only at the moment. In hand this is Gorgeous with a capital G. I have waited for ages for a Doors Open coin. The silvering is absolutely great which is icing on the cake.

    Wow, CRISP! Nice capture Pish!!!

    I only have a few campgates in my collection since I am not really a Roman Empire collector, and they are not the best grade...

    I still don't have mine in hand but I just paid for the lot of coins this morning. I love it when you find a dealer that let's you shop & stack items then pay.
    Dealer pics. & this is my first campgate. Forgive me I think I posted it a couple of days ago, also.

    There are not many campgates with gates so that's a pretty good score, congrats. I know only a few people here that have those coin(s).
