<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 7802330, member: 110350"]Assuming that the edge shows no signs of casting, I'm leaning towards keeping it at this point -- warts and all! -- even if the dealer gives me the opportunity to cancel the purchase. I think it has a nice portrait, and that's what caught my eye in the first place, along with the reverse design similar to the Tribute Penny. One doesn't see that many Tiberius bronzes, as others have mentioned. It's actually in better condition than most other examples available at retail, and for the (relatively low) price I paid, I think it's a decent buy, what with authenticity concerns essentially resolved. And what with the suspicions raised by a low price being charged for a coin RIC classifies as extremely rare also set aside. (Especially since the coin could just as well be RIC 35 as RIC 33.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
