[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3817089, member: 56859"]He's used the phrase "not inexpensive" zero times. The photo does look like it [I]could[/I] be Valentinian's, and I don't have a good feel for photos taken by Al since he often posts seller images. However, another bit of evidence points away from V: this coin sold through Heritage and was slabbed. I don't think V shops at Heritage there with any regularity... but Al does (or maybe he just sells through them?). The coin was formerly slabbed and the out-of-slab images are so much better. Good job, whoever bought this coin :). With Curtis's clarification about the duration of his collecting I supposed it could be him, but to me the full wording of the "why I bought it" blurb still suggests someone much older (or maybe I'm biased because of my own age). He's my #2 pick but I'm still sticking with Al as the owner of this coin :).[/QUOTE]
