[QUOTE="Gavin Richardson, post: 3329270, member: 83956"][ATTACH=full]882030[/ATTACH] So I saw this coin in an unsold lot from an Italian auction. The first thing I noticed was the inscriptional letters. Now, what I know about inscriptional lettering you could put in a thimble and shake, but for some reason, I thought the inscription was attractive. I can say with some degree of confidence that had I not seen [USER=14873]@jamesicus[/USER] post pretty regularly on Roman inscriptional lettering, I probably would not have been drawn to this coin. But I was, and it came this week. I guess this goes to show how persons on this board can influence / expand one's aesthetics and taste. So show your coins with attractive inscriptions, or maybe a coin you purchased because of another collector's educative interests and influence.[/QUOTE]
