[QUOTE="randygeki, post: 2644446, member: 13719"]I committed a darkside taboo! With full intention on doing so ^_^ Today I got my first slabbed ancient, and it's probably going to stay slabbed :troll::troll::troll: I wanted to own at least one slabbed ancient and was able to get this for $30 shipped. A price that, IMO, represents a fair value of the coin slab or not. It's funny though since I really was buying the plastic and not the coin but paid for the coin not the plastic. The grade is Ch VF. The seller had an XF (thats a higher grade right?) for a couple bucks more, but this one had way more eye appeal. [ATTACH=full]583959[/ATTACH] Postumus AR Antoninianus. Cologne Mint ? 262-268 AD. Obv.IMP C POSTVMVS P F AVG, radiate draped cuirassed bust r. Rev. MONETA AVG, Moneta standing left holding scales and cornucopia. RIC 75. All that plastic made it had to get a decent pic. It's really nice in hand. Edit: On a side note, it wasnt the coin I ordered, equally as nice so Im not sure want action to take. edit (again): [B][SIZE=3]"Due to quantity serial numbers will differ" [/SIZE][/B][SIZE=3]I assume that means a Random ch vf postumus[/SIZE] Lets see some more slabbed (now or formerly) acients[/QUOTE]
