<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1874729, member: 19463"]Uncirculated and mint are not terms that get used with ancients by traditionalists like me. The coin is well struck, most were not, and relatively pleasing of surface. New collectors often think ancient coins have to look 2000 years old. Much better ones exist. I almost passed up the coin because of the large amount of off flan legends but it was sharp on the important part (LXXII) so I compromised and bought it. Ancient collectors rarely can insist on MS67 or better and the ones that do have very deep pockets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
