<p>[QUOTE="Gavin Richardson, post: 3267268, member: 83956"]Yes, an unusual coin. I spotted it on eBay the very night I hosted [USER=10613]@Victor_Clark[/USER] on my campus. I waited for Victor to get home and then sent him an email asking him to check out this coin. He was a gentleman and didn't scoop me; he did tell me to buy the coin. $30 shipped! Victor's note: "Yes, you should buy it right away. It is a bit rough, but pretty rare. If you don’t want to buy it, let me know, if it’s not too late ... RIC rates it as rare, which it certainly is… Good catch, it is a rare Caesar issue from Ticinum, I haven’t had one, but had an example from Aquileia with same legend but horseman galloping over enemy versus yours with Mars advancing with spear and trophy… For the price you can’t beat yours. These come up very seldom ... I expect that the seller did not really know what he had... Congrats ... it’s the trifecta--nice condition, rare and a bargain.”[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
