I could tell it was Crispina, within a few seconds of viewing the coin.😐

I would still buy stamps, even as late as 2019. It just isn't a serious hobby as coins and some other hobbies, of mine. We had a stamp collecting club, back in jr. high school And this was back in 1992-93, it was about 12 of us and a math teacher ran the club. It was fun. My stamps consisted of those grab bag mail orders, from back in the day.

I enjoyed stamps, as I was growing up, but they fell by the wayside, as I became an adult. I still appreciate the history and the art on them. This item, itself is pretty cool, just for the history.

It might be, couldn't find any others in higher quality, for a closer look.

Saw these recently posted on a celebrity news site. Actress Priyanka Chopra, is wearing a necklace with an ancient coin. From these high quality images, it looks like a real Caligula AS. Some of the green on the coin itself looks neon, so bronze disease too.😳

Happens here in California, all the time. Wouldn't be California if we didn't have orange skies, smoke/ash everywhere, during the fire season.

These auctions houses could get away with murder and still, people will buy from them.😑

There should be a sub-forum dedicated to all the drama and headaches these international auction houses seem to have, it would be the most active section.😐 I'm glad I don't bother with them.😃

If I notice that any are starting to tone, I take some comet and a Brillo pad on them, to bring back the shine, again.😃

I didn't bother this go around. Didn't see anything that jumped out for me.

Very handsome coin! You don't see that one, too often.

Beautiful coin.

Tried to make it a bit better, for you.

That coin looks much better. The majority of this type is rough and usually has issues. Yours is a bit better than most.
