I decided to Back off This One...much to my regret

Now that the auction is over I can go ahead and show you the one that I 'almost got.'

In spite of this being of the few on my list of coins I would still like to get while I am of this earth (hopefully still for a long while), I decided to back-off this one simply for the reason that, on the picture at least, the coin looks a bit porous, potentially crystallised and therefore fragile.

You may recall thread about my beautiful Nero denarius which ended up in two pieces?
Well, that one really spooked me, and I did not want to run anew the risk of ending up with two pieces of an expensive coin in my hands. It just looks fragile to me.

I know that it is difficult (impossible) to judge from a picture, but I just did not feel comfortable with it.

I made it part of the way thru the bidding, and then commonsense took over.

On the bright side, now I have some funds for something else...
