[QUOTE="Mat, post: 6063504, member: 21445"]Beautiful coin & the scrape doesn't bother me in the least. I also like yours more than the second, maybe because the obverse is better centered. Being a budget collector, I have learned to tolerate almost every form of "problems" with ancients. So much so it's made me more tolerant to have problems on world coins as well, especially holes. Scratches and cleaned coins didn't bother me, but holed coins did. But now I have several medieval and world coins that look like they were "touch pieces" and I find the holes have a history themselves.
