<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2254718, member: 56859&quot;]Here&#039;s one I wish I&#039;d waited on.&nbsp; At the summer ANA show in Chicago, my primary goal was to come home with one of the two types of Mussidius Longus &quot;<a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ancients-a-deity-worthy-of-respect.251682/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ancients-a-deity-worthy-of-respect.251682/">Sewer Goddess</a>&quot; denarii.&nbsp; I asked almost every dealer present and Barry Murphy knew someone who had one.&nbsp; He acquired it the next day and sold it to me.&nbsp; The centering is bad on both sides but it appeared to be the only one at the show and there were none currently on Vcoins or upcoming auctions.&nbsp; Two days later, another appeared at the show and it was the Sol obverse.&nbsp; I bought it as well.&nbsp; Its centering isn&#039;t great but it is somewhat better than the Concordia and it is generally better than most Sol Cloacina examples.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes it&#039;s hard to be patient.&nbsp; This year I found a much better Concordia.&nbsp; It was much less expensive too.&nbsp; Oh well.&nbsp; I bought it thinking I&#039;d sell the first one.&nbsp; Hah. The little lies we tell ourselves...</p><p><br /></p><p>These Cloacina coins aren&#039;t plentiful and most have centering issues, so all in all I don&#039;t feel too regretful about having all three <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/ae43f8_6108da72f9db4305a823475c905d505e.jpg_srb_p_1000_519_75_22_0.50_1.20_0.00_jpg_srb" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Moneyer issues of Imperatorial Rome</p><p>L.
