    I would add this one as the second most attractive, yet to be fair, I am probably a bit prejudiced.

    I’ve never seen one of those and with the beautiful, gorgeous toning I have to say I find it off the charts beautiful.

    It took me five years to finally buy this coin after having to pry it away from its prior owner but I'm very happy to call it mine: I just flew out to pick it up from the Baltimore show as it was cheaper than having it shipped.

    It's a beast of a coin: clearly the finest known example of the largest type stuck by Carthage right at the beginning of the First Punic War between Rome and Carthage.

    It's an ostentatiously large coin, minted to pay mercenaries and to flaunt Carthage's strength with a high value coin.

    Please learn to hold your coins properly by the rims. It's a good habit to get into. :#

    It's hard to interpret sarcasm over the internet so in the event you were actually concerned, I know what I'm doing with ancient coins. Their fabric makes them much less vulnerable to handling, so, clean and dry hands are regularly used to handle coins.

    I'm less crazy than others: I handed this coin to Harlan Berk at the show and he grabbed it between his fingers and spun it around... now -that- would impart wear if done often so I'll probably hold off of "show and tell" with him for a while.

    "WOW". But what is it?.


    Somehow this raised image of a red peddle flower on a green stem appeared on the rim of this coin. (from a coin roll)
    Wow, how could this happen?
    When the first photo's were taken she was in all her glory. I did the best I could to keep it the way I found it, but it's not nice to fool mother nature i guess

    I think the Wow Factor is well documented thanks to David Frohman.

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!
