<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikey Zee, post: 2282633, member: 72818&quot;]Thanks everyone for your comments. I greatly appreciate them!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Greg and &#039;Q&#039; bring up an interesting point---and that is the relative scarcity of the coin. Although I haven&#039;t been actively searching for a Livia portrait, I can&#039;t remember the last time I saw one at any of the auctions I routinely browse through. Most that I have seen, especially when I WAS searching for one month earlier this year, were over $100.00 and of lesser or equal &#039;quality&#039; to the one I posted and most that were about VF -EF were in the $200-$300+ price range.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, while I still believe the coin is about a $50.00 value for the type and grade, I&#039;m hoping it will look better in hand than in the sellers photos---as they so often are. And, I will only boil the coin and &#039;clean&#039; it with a soft rag or toothbrush and then see what I have---no picking at the coin or otherwise harshly cleaning it. I&#039;ll post a before and after if there is any significant difference.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again guys!! And I hope everyone had a terrific Thanksgiving!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
