Well struck and centered.
Edit to say if that piece exits my collection in my lifetime you get first shot Rob.
It'd be nice to see it back 'in the family'

Don't usually care for the NGC holders but this one looks mega sweet in one!

Z- yours certainly looks to warrant "Fine Style", as NiceCurrency suggested.
At least it got the much-deserved Star.
I still have yet to own an NGC " Star" designated coin, though I have a few I think should've gotten the nod, particularly the Rhodian Mercenaries drachm you've admired in my Box of 20, which came from Smeagle.
Speaking of other CU Forum ancient coin collectors, where has TIF2 been lately? I miss her fun and informative posts.

His has the WOW provenance.
