<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2473581, member: 19463&quot;]I am honored to be quoted along with CNG even if took second billing (sniff, sniff)<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; This is a very, very nice example of a type that does not always appear nearly this appealing.&nbsp; There are good dies and bad dies.&nbsp; There are well struck coins and poorly struck ones.&nbsp; There are well preserved ones and junkers.&nbsp; Z&#039;s new coin ranks between above average and exceptional in all respects.&nbsp; Most noteworthy are the four (count them!) horse heads with excellent detail. My coin shows a lot of flat struck areas ruining the horses (don&#039;t count mine).&nbsp; You will look a while to find a perfect one of these.&nbsp; Plan to pay extra when you do.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]520873[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>As mentioned,&nbsp; there is a variation of this type with coiled snakes flanking Medusa&#039; face as shown on Volodya&#039;s excellent coin.&nbsp; They are no easier to find in good shape or even with both snakes clear.&nbsp; Mine is what it is.&nbsp; Yes, you do need two of these.&nbsp; I want to upgrade both of mine but this is a popular coin so it won&#039;t be cheap.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]520872[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Congratulations on the great NP!&nbsp; Also thanks for quoting my text which pointed out to me the typo in it that I have now corrected online.&nbsp; Few people bother to point out typos.&nbsp; I wonder how many just think I&#039;m illiterate?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
