<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1938743, member: 19463&quot;]I see the OP coin as better than many and quite collectible but it still has the common faults of its type.&nbsp; The letters that appear are clearly readable (better than average) but only half the flan is well struck which particularly confuses the double cornucopia.&nbsp;&nbsp; Would you prefer a coin with better cornucopia detail and fewer letters?&nbsp; Is the prominent casting sprue a nice feature or would you rather have a rounder coin?&nbsp; These things don&#039;t grade neatly like modern coins.&nbsp; Opinions matter in the market only when they are accompanied by a sale.&nbsp; Below are three similar but different coins (all Jannaeus varieties, I believe).&nbsp; Which of our coins is a $10 and which is a $50 is a matter of opinion. I agree with Steve&#039;s pricing range but it really is a matter of who is buying and who is selling.
