@arizonarobin, @octavius, @Roman Collector : thanks for piling on with those excellent coins! Here's the other coin I picked up from Bing. Surfaces are slightly rough, but it's well-centered, has a full croc, and pretty solid portraits of the dynamic duo, Augustus and Aggripa. AUGUSTUS and AGRIPPA AE As. 12.0g, 26.5mm. GAUL, Nemausus, 20-10 BC. RIC 159. O: IMP DIVI F P-P, back-to-back heads of Agrippa, left, in rostral crown, and Augustus, right, laureate. R: COL-NEM, palm tree curving to left, crocodile right chained below, wreath to left of palm tip with long ties trailing to right.

Awesome new bing coins there @zumbly I dig that croc as, if I would have had some cash around I probably would have bid on that one...nice coin for the price. Here is an ex. bing as I own!
