<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 2362989, member: 57495&quot;]The only person so far who&#039;s had an in-hand view of this coin so far is the dealer, and it sounds like he&#039;s taken a close look at it, so I&#039;m inclined to go with his opinion.&nbsp; But once you do get the coin, I&#039;d go with Doug&#039;s suggestion and take a look at it under a microscope.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The DICT PERPETVO legend was the one I was keen to get for my JC portrait coin too, but I&#039;d only be comfortable calling it &quot;possible lifetime issue&quot;.&nbsp; This series did of course start during his lifetime, but there&#039;s no reason to think they stop striking them the day he was assassinated, and in all likelihood they continued to be struck for a couple of months after he died.&nbsp; My understanding is that of the portrait coins preceding these, those with the CAESAR DICT QVART are definitely lifetime, and those with CAESAR IMP much more likely than DICT PERPETVO.&nbsp; /endnitpicking[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
