Very sharp coin, Z. If I hadn't just sent $200 for some Gallienus and a Thracian coin about four days ago, I would definitely consider making this welcome at home.

Thanks Nick (and a bump!)

The detail in the strike is quite sharp, especially considering how poor most of these pieces are in general. The even, dark chocolate color is also very appealing. Timing, timing.

In any case, bump.
