[QUOTE="AncientJoe, post: 2817240, member: 44357"]That's correct - I sold it a handful of months ago. I really enjoyed it but ultimately I wasn't satisfied with the quality (centering, scratches, and metal) and also have been advised by many people that, for this issue in particular, I shouldn't settle for a non-pedigreed example. There have been a few small groups which have come to market and getting a pedigreed coin is much safer for all of the cultural property restrictions going on today. Happily, as ancients go, it isn't "rare" and one only needs to wait to find a suitable coin. There's a chance I will regret the decision if more well-heeled US collectors enter the market and swipe up all of them at whatever price they want because of their prestige (I sold mine to a US collector for a healthy profit). But, in the meantime, I have acquired a number of great coins with the funds which has allowed me to flesh out more of my collection, so I can't complain![/QUOTE]
