<p>[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 2616840, member: 42773"]It's actually a very pretty <i>coin</i>, in terms of strike, centering, and surfaces. It's just that the rendition of Minerva isn't all that pretty. I wonder if the engraver was just tired or unskilled, or if that was the style at the time. There was a period in RR denarii during which Roma wasn't all that hot either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
