<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SeptimusT, post: 3039596, member: 91240&quot;][ATTACH=full]758500[/ATTACH]</p><p>This is my first time ever <i>handling</i> a slabbed coin, let alone owning one... but I found this ANACS slabbed Augustus being offered with some truly awful photos on eBay the other day, which you can see in the bottom thumbnails, sock included. It didn&#039;t attract much attention, and it went for what&nbsp; I feel is a low price for the type, regardless of condition. It&#039;s fully recognizable and identifiable, and I think the obverse actually looks pretty good. From what I can tell, the left facing portrait is fairly rare. I don&#039;t have the slightest clue what the grade of &#039;VG 8&#039; means, and the mint attribution on the slab is wrong, but I feel pretty happy with it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m experiencing a dilemma of whether I want to keep it slabbed, since I don&#039;t have any other coins like that, or whether to break it free and keep it in a flip.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]758496[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Augustus Denarius</b></p><p><b>Obverse</b>: Augustus, oak-wreathed left</p><p><b>Reverse</b>: CAESAR AVGVSTVS in two lines above and below two laurel-branches</p><p><b>RIC 33b</b>, Minted in Spain (Colonia Caesaraugusta?) in 18-19 BC</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]758490[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]758491[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
