[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 4850915, member: 75937"]Now that you actually own the coin, the question is no longer whether to acquire it or not, but "Should I divest myself of this coin or keep it?" Do you have a reason to get rid of it? Is there some reason it can't join the other items in your collection? I found this [I]as[/I] of Julia Domna in an uncleaned lot some twenty years ago. It's still in my collection. It's actually harder to replace (not that I've been actively looking) than you think and it's kind of fun to have "the lowest grade coin in my collection that was still 100% identifiable." [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/domna-ceres-sc-as-jpg.869487/[/IMG] Julia Domna, AD 193-217. Roman Æ as, 13.49 g, 27.6 mm, 5 h. Rome, AD 198. Obv: IVLIA AVGVSTA, bare-headed and draped bust, right. Rev: CERES S C, Ceres standing left, holding corn ears and long torch; altar at feet, left. Refs: RIC 870; BMCRE 781; Cohen 19; RCV 6636; Hill 346.[/QUOTE]
