TuckHard Posted January 7, 2023 · Member Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) I got this coin at least a decade ago at a local coin show by an older man whose name I have forgotten unfortunately, but it was my first ancient coin. He kindly explained a quick rundown of Roman history that entirely went over my head, and then parted with this thing for a few dollars which I knew was a bargain. He also sold a couple other coins to me like two nice Arabic silver dinars (one is still the nicest in my collection!) and maybe one or two others that I can't think of right now. He was the only dealer there with a velvet case which I thought was especially classy.
