Haha. Nice coin! If my memory serves, I believe I saw this one and did not take the time to really study it. Maybe I should have Wink

Great job! Worth 5 stars just for the great catch.

Nice one... even better that it came your way misdescribed and you saw the opportunity! Nothing like the satisfaction of making your own luck on the back of knowledge and diligence!

Very nice. No signs of fouree. It just goes to show how reliable slabbed grading can be on ancient coins
