    I am glad it arrived. I am convinced that it is now in its proper home. Consider it a very small thank you for all of the expertise you share so willingly.

    It is hard to pick a favorite of the many Probus portraits but this has to be one of the leaders in my opinion. I got mine in 1997 from CNG 43. They described the obverse porosity but did not mention the toning.
