No click-bait corny innuendo today. Not that I wouldn't have, were I able to think of something clever—but I couldn't—so I didn't. This is an interesting one because most of these that are available on the market have a small cross inside of the diadem symbol on the obverse.
Great coin @Deacon Ray - I saw the little note at the bottom, which says quite a lot. The other couple coins you scored also rock! It pays to have a good relationship with your dealer. I'm excited to see the others!
Thanks to all of you for your kind and motivating comments! This forum has become a part of my day that I look forward to and really miss on days that I'm so busy with church and counseling work that I don't have the time to join in. Some days I'm so busy that I can only lurk briefly—but even briefly lurking is revitalizing. The variety of ancient coin interests and expertise among forum members is most amazing.
It’s a blessing to have you here, Deacon Ray! Your coins are total boss! It must be so cool to have one of the 3 best known! Major congrats! I’m really happy that’s you’ve been able to get these! I’m on my phone, so I can’t post a pic, but, Commander William T. River of the USS Enterprise, along with myself, applaud you! Erin
