<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 4432229, member: 26302"]There is no deal breaker on any coin per se. I bet tons of people would buy a G, corroded, offcenter lifetime JC. We have to remember these things are THOUSANDS of years old. It is not like granny's "ancient" set of dishes bought in the late 1880's people treat like ancient artifacts. </p><p><br /></p><p>I look at all coins holistically. Are others available in much better condition reasonably, how long have I been searching, would I be happy to own it, price, etc. I admit I no longer pay attention to low grade late romans at all since they are not my specialty and I own hundreds upon hundreds in better shape already. Really corroded coins I do not really squint very hard to try to make them out, since I want a coin I can see. However, I firmly believe there is a collector for every coin, and yours I would be proud to own, especially given the history, ESPECIALLY if I were into Domitian. My only real interest in the emperor is his fantastic issues with rhinos, and I will always be grateful to him for those.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
