'bout time!! Nice one too man! Nice clear horn, and a fantastic bust! Good titles and a very nice reverse, plus 3.5 grams, not too shabby in the weight department either! I know how bad you have wanted one of these, so, just goes to show, good things come to those who wait, since this one is alot nicer that some of the ones you showed me in the past. Congrats on a beauty of a coin.... I just need to get one myself now, and I'll have most of the interesting coins of Elagabalus heh.... most that is, and there is always room for more Smile

5 Stars from me for that wonderful bust and portrait!
