<p>[QUOTE=&quot;octavius, post: 3376224, member: 100777&quot;]The criteria of what strikes one as a beautiful or irresistible coin most likely vary as much as the number of members on this forum. Beauty truly does lie in the eye of the beholder. There are many intangible factors that make us fall in love with a coin: history, where does it come from, style, toning, can I find a better one. In general I look at how well&nbsp; the coin has aged. I tend to avoid graininess or corrosion. Small flan cracks don&#039;t really bother me. In the end, I think if it pleases you , and you don&#039;t think you can find a better one , grab it. Here is a coin of Vespasian that is rather worn down, but when I saw it, I just &quot;bonded&quot; with it and could not explain why and I never regretted it.
