[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 2918670, member: 75937"]I can't resist a good deal on these big marriage commemoratives, and at $45 including buyer's commission, paypal fees, currency exchange fees and shipping, it was a good deal, IMHO. It has just about everything: a compass dot, centration dimples, an E on the reverse denoting the pentassarion denomination, fairly clear and complete legends, a glossy black patina and a list of references longer than the list of assassinated Roman emperors!
