<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1782159, member: 19463&quot;]Really, folks, when a coin is under 10mm and photographed at at 20 times its actual size, a perfect specimen will look a little &#039;textured&#039;.&nbsp; This obol&#039;s fault IMHO is the obverse centering.&nbsp; The reverse is great.&nbsp; Sure there are perfect FDC obols but they are 100 times harder to find than mint state tetradrachms.&nbsp; Obols actually circulated on a daily basis and were damaged by hand and mouth while many big silvers spent antiquity in a pot of their peers protected from the ravages of time.&nbsp; I love little silver like obols but I love fractions of obols even more.</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/microdigital.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/microdigital.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/microdigital.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
