<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1344832, member: 26302"]Calpurnia, I really am looking forward to more of your posts. Yes, it was the style of this piece that really set it off. Many of them look more like Roma heads that are so common. This piece, besides looking like my mother, is more artistic and realistic than many I have seen. You are very correct that good style can more than offset a grade difference between two coins. This is an advanced concept many collectors, especially coming from another area of numismatics, miss. Its in this regard ancient collecting is a little more akin to art collecting than most other areas of coin collecting.</p><p><br /></p><p>I liked your post a lot. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> We don't have a lot of active ancient collectors here, but a few of us hang around.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
