<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 1695642, member: 39084&quot;]My 12 Caesars collection of small bronzes is missing (among others) a Tiberius as.&nbsp; There are two of these coins in upcoming auctions that might be candidates, and I thought it might be interesting to see how others evaluate these two coins.&nbsp; Note that Tiberius asses are relatively common, although they&#039;ve been less than plentiful in recent auctions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, I&#039;ll specify my parameters for adding coins to my collection: (1) at least good VF but preferably EF condition, unless coin is very rare; (2) obverse portrait of Caesar must be of at least good style, better style is a plus; (3) minimal smoothing in fields and no tooling of any devices on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s coin #1, partially described as &quot;Wonderful green patina, struck on a narrow flan, otherwise good extremely fine;&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]257584.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s coin #2, partially described as &quot;...aXF, brown patina:&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]257585.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve had some preliminary discussion with my dealer regarding these two coins, but I&#039;ll wait until others have had a chance to post before revealing my dealer&#039;s comment(s) on them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Serious comments welcomed![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
