I would have to agree.
Slabs are all ways the way I educate myself,
Books can only go so far.
That coin in hand,

Usually, exited you got the next buy!

Personally, the thought of finding these coins wild!

I didn't miss it, I just didn't bid on it. I also saw it in it's previous sale when it turned up in an auction in England being sold unattributed and estimated at I believe 200 pounds. Unfortunately several others people with MUCH deeper pockets also recognized it for what it was. Instead of a couple hundred pounds it went for five figures.
