<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1831502, member: 19463"]All soooo much better than the new one. Perhaps I have an attitude about the eagles because I have too many but after you get as many tets as you have, it is increasingly hard to find ones you don't have so you start looking for other features. I have a snipe set on a tet because I liked the look on the face of the emperor's portrait. I have a antoninianus enroute that I paid more than I would have for most for that same reason. Neither are Probus. Most Probus Alexandria faces are a bit 'ordinary' in my opinion. Martin's year three Nike is better than most. Whatever the coin, rarity makes us more interested. Were Falling Horsemen rare, the type would not be the laughing stock it seems to be with so many of you. Were EID MAR denarii common, we might point out the fact that the artwork is something you could draw. There are some well done Eagles but I prefer pretty much anything from Alexandria that is not a standing figure or a bird.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
