Message:: [QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2115313, member: 19463"]While I might question why so many people want coins they consider boring, I really object to this one being posted in this thread.  It is in horrid condition but it is not a Jupiter presenting something type and is a coin I would love to have if only it were a smooth fine.  It is an interesting type.  Of course, I don't find the main coins in this thread all that boring either but I do not bore as easy as some.  I agree the XI Tacitus is a good type but, again, might be called a condition snob because I want a slightly better one.  Of course neither of the dealers that had my two knew that XI was special and both were high priced compared to most sellers I patronize.  I agree with zumbly's theory that they are worth more but I think his figure of 'twice as much' is way low.  5X, perhaps???   Having recently been on the wrong side of a discussion on the collectability of faulted coins I feel odd expressing the opinion that we do not need to collect $1 versions of coins available for $100 in good shape.  I admit a terrible inconsistency here.  There are a few of what I consider my less than boring Jupiter and somebody coins.  I hope someone will recognize them from previous postings.  [ATTACH=full]400204[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]400205[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]400206[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]400207[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
