<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2009836, member: 19463&quot;]Thanks for the excellent post.&nbsp; We have here a good example of the other side of our hobby from the one most commonly considered.&nbsp; The finest examples of these dark age coins would never be desired by the 99% of condition oriented collectors.&nbsp; A coin that is identifiable with certainty is the equivalent of EF in some of these.&nbsp; Full legends here are more scarce than MS69 is in other games.&nbsp; Part of the fun in some series is being able to see the good where others can not get past the obvious faults.&nbsp; VK is our local ambassador of coins whose beauty is hidden better than most.</p><p><br /></p><p>If there is one thing to be gained from the study of ancients it might be the realization that there are no absolutes of worth or interest.&nbsp; Like beauty, these, too, are in the eyes of the beholder.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
