<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 3168751, member: 39084&quot;]Here are my personal observations about this coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]814799[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Pros:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. This is a pretty good portrait of Galba; it&#039;s recognizable and reasonably artistic.</p><p>2. Obverse legend is readable and Galba&#039;s name is especially clear.</p><p>3. Both obverse and reverse centering is good.</p><p>4. No apparent tooling (but evident smoothing).</p><p>5. Seems reasonably priced relative to available data.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cons:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Noticeable pitting on obverse and reverse detracts from overall appeal of coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the decision boils down to whether or not you&#039;re comfortable with the level of pitting.&nbsp; Most of the other comparable, non-pitted Galbas in this price range don&#039;t look as artistic or display comparable sharpness.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
