    Thrilled to have won this today.

    Gotta love my wife's reaction. The giant coin she is referring to in our chat is my Aes Grave As, which I assured her would be my last big purchase, lol. But she is clearly an enabler:

    Hope everyone else was as successful as I was in today's auction.

    That's tough when you only have a buck fifty in your account.

    That's a steal, IMO.

    Yes, first gold MFB. First gold anything. I did buy my godson a gold Byzantine coin when he was bapstised but since it isn't mine that doesn't count.

    Honestly, between the two you pictured, I like the full body MFB the best. Just a more pleasing design to my eye. You did fantastic.

    Congrats, Nicholas, that's a fantastic addition! Yeah, I suppose the $17k one isn't chopped liver either. Remember to do a screen cap (or even a video) of the wife's reaction when you get around to buying one of those :D.
