with the house on the horizon, I took one last hurrah with my tax refund...
I've always wanted a very nice one of these for type and since I could never pry a certain board members AU58 from him... I kept my eyes peeled, and was rewarded!
...in hand the coin looks seriously awesome, the toning is perfectly wonderful. (sorry for the smudgie reverse)

g-g-g-g-guess the grade? pcgs slabbed.

    I'd say that it is an AU-58 like the piece he wanted to buy from the forum member.

I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    PCGS MS63....

    Not to mention the images take a fingernail sized coin and turn it into a basketball.
