[QUOTE="nerosmyfavorite68, post: 25377517, member: 134416"]Thanks, I was pleased! The certified mail part was referring to the slabbed rainbow toner, which I recently ordered. He also thoughtfully picked up some inexpensive Byzantine coins. While most were fairly decrepit and some misattributed, one is a scarce coin of Nicephorus II, "The White Death". (meaning his enemies went pale), one of the all-time great generals and an underrated ruler. I have a very nice example, but here's the LCS one: [ATTACH=full]1624698[/ATTACH] A nice example is much more impressive, having a pretty nice portrait for the time. This one is maybe G-VG. There's just too much history and not enough collecting budget to veer too much from ancients and medievals. Plus, like I mentioned, ancients are cheaper, generally speaking. Assuming the rainbow toner arrives safely and looks as good or better than the picture, I'll be pleased with my two U.S. coins. That will be enough to satisfy me for quite a while.[/QUOTE]
