<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 2882571, member: 51347&quot;]I am not a typical collector, and probably a poor example of a Numismatist.&nbsp; I have expressed my appreciation for capturing high quality coins in the 10k+ thread:</p><p><br /></p><p><i><span style="color: #0000b3">&quot;I focus on critical junctures in Human History and those placemarkers (mainly coins) that allow me to remotely touch those times.</span></i></p><p><i><span style="color: #0000b3"><br /></span></i></p><p><i><span style="color: #0000b3">Although I enjoy having my coins gently worn (circulation / actually touched by several people from those times), I can appreciate and, now, better understand having a pristine condition as a focus. I see that possessing the coin exactly as it was minted as a clear communication of what the Celator, Moneyer, and/or Issuing Authority was communicating through the Art of that Coin&quot;</span></i></p><p><br /></p><p>Along those lines, I captured mine with circulation wear as well as AE adhesion with no qualms...&nbsp; This one was struck as Caesar was crossing the Rubicon, throwing Roman History into a maelstrom...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]691224[/ATTACH]</p><p>RR Caesar AR Denarius 49 BCE Traveling Mint Elephant-Pontificates Sear 1399 Craw 443-1</p><p><br /></p><p>All stated:&nbsp; I actually enjoy ALL THREE of their coins for their history!&nbsp; I also appreciate the DETAIL and STRIKE of [USER=76181]@4to2centBC[/USER] &#039;s gorgeous coin; the real purchasing VALUE of [USER=4298]@Cucumbor[/USER] &#039;s coin; and the great PRICE that [USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER] was able to get his coin.&nbsp; Each did WELL for the conditions that they were striving for![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
