Wow, that's a holy grail coin for ancient collectors. I am lucky to have a ratty portrait Marc A. denarius.

Very nice coin all around, congrats.

An interesting piece in that the engravers didn't have the slightest idea what Cleopatra actually looked like. Was one of the portraits supposed to be Cleopatra or was Marc Anthony just being vain by putting himself on both sides of the coin?

Very nice
I did have to look that one up.

Wow, congratulations! That centering is superb. I don't recall seeing this coin for sale recently; have you had it for a while? It's a wonderful example of a type I've been seeking for a while as a pair to my denarius.

If SmEagle1795 likes it that much you really have something rare I think .
