<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 4863143, member: 97383&quot;]S.A., Those are both outstanding coins for their artistic aesthetics <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. The Nicomedia coin not only for the patina, but also for the attractive portrait with the diadem of 3 strands of pearls. The Constantinople coin is exceptional for the fine portrait &amp; the engraving on the reverse. The scaled-down version of the finely engraved camp gate creates negative area giving greater importance to the inscription. The lettering on this coin is sensational <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, especially considering the size of the coin.</p><p>The encapsulation of my coin doesn&#039;t bother me, if anything it makes handling the coin easier. I&#039;ve stated my feelings about slabbed coins many times on this website &amp; won&#039;t go into that again <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
