<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3270057, member: 19463&quot;]It is really interesting to see the differences between opinions on matters like the Athena nose.&nbsp; My earliest influences in the hobby required the nose to be on flan and no other features could offset the loss.&nbsp; There are people who feel that way about the crest and owl feathers but what I consider important is a nose fetish to some.&nbsp; Similarly, I love the patina on Crispina and would never trade that coin for an EF+ for wear with normal surfaces.&nbsp; It is a good thing there are so many opinions or we would all bid on the same lots in every sale and 90% of coins would go unsold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
