[QUOTE="Bart9349, post: 1218204, member: 5682"]The inscription is mostly legible. The portrait is sharp. The reverse, unfortunately, is unknown, but probably fine. If the image on the reverse is good, I think you have a solid coin for a nice price, possibly a great price. The slab, in this case, adds no value and detracts from the beauty and tactile delight of this coin. That said, it is good that the coin is authenticated. (Several reputible sites both authenticate and guarantee their coins without entombing the coin in plastic.) I don't know the extent of your interest in Ancients. Nevertheless, this coin gives you the opportunity to learn to read the coin's inscription, to appreciate the significance of the image (personification) on the reverse, and to explore the history of this deranged emperor. On second thought :yes:, I think it was a great purchase, especially if it motivates your interest in Ancient Roman history. :thumb: guy[/QUOTE]
