<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 4559336, member: 86498"]Every ancient coin is a compromise. It is rare to find a coin that is perfect in every possible way. So naturally whenever I am looking at a coin with the intent to purchase I have to ask myself what is good and what is not so good. The more that I find that I like influences my desire to purchase.I think I would have to concur with those that prefer the second coin. The crescent may be a small feature but it is the key identifier that separates the Crawford 57 issue from all the others. So I would most likely give the first coin a pass.
