Very fine

Privately purchased from Wayne Phillips on 11 July 1994.

It would be natural to wonder why this coin is in my collection. It is of average grade and fairly common. It happens to be the first coin I ever owned from the twelve Caesars set and as such I always kept it as part of my collection. I hope it finds a new home with a beginning collector of the twelve Caesars who may someday have as much joy building this set as I have. MSG.
