<p>[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 1887285, member: 42773"]Centering is good too, absolutely. But very few ancients look anything like modern coins in terms of symmetry, so it's a completely different collecting aesthetic. Despite all the criteria I have, sometimes a piece just jumps out and grabs me emotionally or intellectually, and then all the criteria get thrown out the window. It' s like the wand picking the wizard. The coin buys itself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
