<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3516777, member: 19463"]While this is the best of these I have seen, it still lacks what I would consider a possible improvement. None of these show any detail on the reverted head of the wolf. The coin illustrated as Roman Silver Coins 176 has a tiny bit of separation but falls short of the Volodya coin in other respects and is certainly not 'full wolf head' (like nickel collectors use 'full horn' or 'full steps'). I would love a coin with 'full wolf head' but it would have to be a holed fourree to drop into my price bracket. Overall the ones shown here are above average but they show that the issue could have benefited from a slightly more muscular hammerman. This is life in this hobby. Perfect strikes, perfect surfaces, perfect style and a few other things I am sure I have overlooked do not always come to roost on the same flan. We do the best we can.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
