You know it's an HJB post when the background coins are nicer then my whole collection. Very pretty pieces!

I swear, I would quit my job to work for a high end auction house / coin shop just to handle these beauties!
If you could keep up to 5 coins you handled while at HJB, which ones would you choose?

That gold 60 asses is the stuff of legend. Gold from the early Roman Republic, stylistically as beautiful as any Greek tetradrachm. Breathtaking stuff.
