Hey friends, here's an unusually strong example of this type. Those of you that have them know what I mean - they typically have very weak strikes, particularly on the reverse, incomplete legends, and very ragged flans. This coin is one of the best I've come across. What say you? Post them if you've got them.
I'll take your word for the weak striking. What say I: That piece does show some fine detail on the coin. 'Tis a keeper JA.
A very nice, completely intact example in good grade. All too often these have issues. This one doesn't. Martin
I agree these are usually scrappy but find it interesting that my best, although not equal to yours, is also an SMKB
Yummy-yummy => wow, that's a pretty sweet addition for a random Nabataean dude like yourself, eh? (congrats on a top-notch example) ... you've got game!! The coin has amazing eye-appeal (I'm in love with the chick on the obverse) ... hopefully that's a chick ... uh-oh ... apparently that's Constantine the Great!! (is my face red?)
that is about the best one i've seen JA..awesome. here's mine, it's actually a pretty strong contender, especially on the obverse. this was an uncleaned lot coin...strange.
John, that coin is really special. It has great detail, excellent strike, and beautiful surfaces. It would be hard to find another one that good. I'm sure you will remain pleased with it regardless of how long you continue to collect.
