    Here is one that walked in this past week. It's still amazing to me the amount of neat stuff still out there.

    Fantastic coin. It would look good in my collection alongside my Nero and Titus Alexandria Tets.

    Mine is a Roma reverse and year 1 but has one thing I value more: While the legend is very partial, the remaining letters include GALB. You coin is what it is but is identifiable by other features.

    I'll be in New Castle next week visiting my 99 yo Mother-in-Law. She dislikes Indianapolis so we never get there but I would love to see your shop. You are so right about all the good stuff 'out there'. I wonder how many collections from the 1960's are still in town. Then there were 3 or 4 ancient dealers downtown that I loved to visit so I know there were collectors.
