<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 4493353, member: 97383"]Donna, Your denarius exhibits <u>fine style</u> in my opinion, as much as the CNG denarius. There are certain criteria that come into play when looking at a Roman 1st century coin, like realism, accuracy, & quality of lettering & its spacing. The Morris coin, as you state, is a caricature that is almost comical. The lettering on the Morris coin is ugly & poorly spaced. I disagree with 7Calbrey in regards to toning. Toning can certainly enhance a coins eye appeal, but it has nothing to do with style.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
