[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2777811, member: 56859"]This really is a great type and like so many ancients, most collectors have to decide which shortcomings they can live with. Yours has exceptional fabric and areas of very nice strike. The centering is also very good. Mine lacks in the fabric department, being porous, but in its favor the centering and strike are atypically good.
