    Congratulations!

    If I ever got into ancient coinage, pieces like this would be sort of things I'd like to find, but right now I'm branching into British coinage.

    Best of luck to you, Bill. There's a WHOLE lot of stuff across the pond.

    Thank you for putting up such a wonderful coin for a forum giveaway. Please include my name in your random drawing.

    My current coin collecting interests are: (1) British coins 1838-1970 in XF-AU-UNC, (2) silver type coins in XF-AU with that classic medium gray coloration and exceptional eye appeal.

    Very cool coin and absolutely fantastic post to accompany it. I did not know such a coin existed. Very well presented history lesson also. Thanks for sharing.

    Wow. The King of Ancient Coins. Imagine, the same coin you hold in your hand today may have once been held by the hand that thrust a dagger into Julius Caesar.
