<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2473158, member: 76194&quot;]Sure, it would be nice to have a victory with as much detail as the one on my Maximinus Thrax denarius</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]520638[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>However, the reason I bought this Commodus was that I simply liked the portrait style. I don&#039;t need all my coins to be perfect. I&#039;m willing to buy a coin with weak strikes on one of the sides, or some off-centering, or some other minor flaw, if there is something about that particular coin that calls my attention. In this case, I don&#039;t have a Commodus, and the particular portrait on this one called my attention enough to want it. So I bid on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only thing I might change is giving it a little soak in acetone to see if the small deposits on the reverse fall off. Other than that I&#039;d leave it as is. I&#039;m sure I&#039;ll add a higher end Commodus in due time, but I&#039;m pretty satisfied having this one in my collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
