I like having some of the historic books on cast coins. I have all but BMC Italy (it is on order).

 My coin is on the plate from Haeberline that shows the coin. Above the coin is a copy of Sydenham's Aes Grave. The top left book is Kercheriano and bottom left is Garrucci.

I was able to view the coin at Roma's office in London before the auction. After a week in London, my wife and I traveled to the Shetland Islands for Wool Week. My wife knit our WW hats.
