<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1887700, member: 19463"]In the category "Best gushing headless body" TIF's coin is clearly the best I've seen. Part of my regrets not bidding higher on it but I was put off by the obverse style. That is the problem with collecting ancient coins. We never know when we should go big or whether we will see a better fit for our personal opinions of what is best. Most of these coins are centered in such a way that the uninformed observer is left unclear as to what is being shown. Almost none have facial details on the Medusa and Perseus. Who will post the perfect coin? Does it exist? My pair are hardly stalkable but the flan size of the Sinope suggests that the mint might be a good place to look for a fully detailed coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]321284[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]321285[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
