[QUOTE="Finn235, post: 4986342, member: 98035"]Very nice coin VK - I owned one of the type briefly but promptly sold it - I'm sure I have the pictures in my archives somewhere. Finding one in good style, high grade, and with decent centering is tough, and the hammer price will reflect that! Ultimately, I opted for a Cistophorus for my "main" Augustus; IMO the best trade-off between price and "wow" factor as these are usually quite well made and pleasantly large [ATTACH=full]1197685[/ATTACH] I also have this one to fill the "posthumous slot" [ATTACH=full]1197687[/ATTACH] And the rest - either purchased for the other personages on the coin, or else kept because I'd rather have the coins than $5.50 from the eBay sale! Augustus & Agrippa, Nemausus Gaul [ATTACH=full]1197688[/ATTACH] Amphipolis, Macedon with Artemis Tauropolis [ATTACH=full]1197686[/ATTACH] Tarraco, Hispania, with Gaius and Lucius [ATTACH=full]1197689[/ATTACH] With Rhoemetalkes, client king of Thrace [ATTACH=full]1197690[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
