Congrats on the one year anniversary. And a great coin too. Its in wonderful condition. The larger types of Aelia Flaccilla are a bit scarce. I almost bought one in Long Beach but the reverse was too corroded for my tastes even though the portrait was pleasant. I do have a common AE4 though. I've had it for about 4 years now.
