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.
