<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 8101893, member: 24754&quot;]I need the Vespasian (that is a really nice one) for my collection, and the Owl is on my &quot;List of coins to get someday&quot;. But, I have to say, my favorite has to be the Mithradates. The portrait has a cartoonish quality that makes it fascinating to look at, and the dotty text on the reverse is kind of mesmerizing!</p><p><br /></p><p>Your Trajan is a good example of the type of coin that I would like to start focusing on obtaining. The most important aspect of coins for me is a clearly visible, attractive bust that provides a detailed approximation of what the person looked like. These qualities usually scale with grade, but not always. Obtaining VF coins that meet my criteria (like your Trajan) fulfill my needs really well while leaving a bit of cash to put towards more coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I find myself getting stuck on grade sometimes, then I feel disappointed when I have more expensive MS coins that look like crap as opposed to less expensive VF coins that look fantastic! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
