[QUOTE="Plumbata, post: 3769623, member: 96864"]Nice coin, but why keep it in the plasticine tomb when it's clearly tooled and the slab proudly states that unfortunate fact?

I don't want to pile-on in a negative manner but ancients are living artifacts which NEED to be handled in order to be fully appreciated.
