[QUOTE="Mat, post: 3513194, member: 21445"]Some nice coins Doug, I almost bought a Caligula just like that many years ago but [USER=10461]@lordmarcovan[/USER] bought it. Needless to say, I was glad he ended up with it. The poor coin got a very bad case of bronze disease in a short period of time. I'd say my least favorite is the Bronze Severus, I would worry it was tooled or something & would just gloss right over it if it was for sale at a show near me. I'm sure it was a bit expensive too. A more recent purchase is this George IV Farthing. I still collect modern British coinage but admit I don't focus on the copper coins of them. But another collector posted one in the world forum & was attracted to the reverse, mainly for the Lion, even though it can be easily missed. It's a common coin/date & not worth much, but it's the classic case of someone posting their new purchases and I see it and want one myself. Posting on cointalk can be very expensive.
