<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mat, post: 1349801, member: 21445&quot;]Recently a Octavian in a NGC Slab surfaced from a collector who seemed to just be unloading his collection at rock bottom prices, I missed out on a NGC VF Owl Tet. for $175, to give you a idea<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Not much was left but this octavian and some other imperials. I ended up thinking it over and decided when would I ever get a Octavian for under $100, so I pulled the trigger.</p><p><br /></p><p>I couldnt decide if I wanted to keep it slabbed or free it, needless to say Octavian didnt wanna be confined so he busted himself out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even though its <b>&quot;randy grade&quot;</b> material I dont regret it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Octavian/Augustus was on my want list but seeing his prices kept me at bay. The black spots are just silver toning, not deposits.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did keep the NGC grade ticket, but thats it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My Photos.<img src="http://i40.tinypic.com/35cj0bp.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i43.tinypic.com/b4at8p.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />Octavian, Triumvir and Imperator, Augustus (27 B.C. - 14 A.D.)</p><p>AR Denarius</p><p>O: Bare head of Octavian right.</p><p>R: CAESAR DIVI F, Mercury seated right on rock, playing lyre, petasos around neck.</p><p>Struck 32 B.C. - 31 B.C.</p><p>Rome?
