[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2373972, member: 19463"]That V II solidus was lot 155 in NFA XXII June 1, 1989. If you got it in 1990, it must have resold in XXIII for which I do not have the catalog. That might have been a bad idea since XXII was the sale that included several fakes including the cover coin as I recall. I do not have (but would appreciate if anyone has it) a list of all of the bad coins from that sale but I do recall a stink over the matter back then. I was a low end customer then (as now) getting NFA coins mostly from their Mail Bid sales which were exactly what I was looking for it that period (when I was working). I miss NFA mail bid sales. They were so heavily aimed at big spenders that you could get their low end coins (which were my high end) more reasonably. You are new here. Several times I have recommended a used book available on Amazon for one cent plus $3.99 postage.
