<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1686812, member: 19463"]I have been wanting one of these for a long time but finding one in my price bracket has not been easy. This one has just about all the faults I dislike but I couldn't let it go. Maybe buying it will cause another show up. While the rough surfaces are not pleasing, the coin's worst fault is the reverse centering losing the important legend at the right. It is a Pax reverse but I would have taken any of several others. Who sees why this struck me as more than a $5 junk box coin? It is special to me. Does anyone agree that this is a premium item or would you prefer something like the other one shown here (a common Jupiter and Hercules reverse that cost me 1/8 for the new coin)? BTW, I had to pay for this one; I did NOT find it in a junk box. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]253917.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]253918.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
