Coin collecting is worse than heroin or crack cocaine!

Pretty soon I'll be knocking over gas stations to get my fix. 
Bought some cheap stuff from NEN on the Bay last night, nothing earth shattering, but I kept being drawn back to a coin that was posted on the web site 2 days ago. I absolutely KNEW that I should not buy it. I've shot past my coin collecting budget by several $K as of late, and the coin was going for just STUPID money (about 4x Krause UNC), but damned if I didn't keep going back and ogling the damned thing. It's a common coin, but something about the color and lustre I just really love.
So finally at work this afternoon I let out a massive "AUUUUUUUUGH!!!!!!!" and whipped out the credit card (AGAIN!) and bought it.
Well, at least my heirs will enjoy selling off my coin collection to pay for ALL THE DEBT IT CAUSED!
Self control. Wish I had some.
Oh yeah... here's the coin:

I'm using every ounce of my will to not buy a beautiful Sestertius of Caligula. If I don't find the Lydian Trite that I'm actually looking for soon that Caligula might end up in my collection instead.
