<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3197317, member: 19463&quot;]IMO the best fourree for a single representative of the genre need to show some core exposure&nbsp; but not randomly scattered to make the coin ugly AND a trace of the seam where the overlapping silver foil sheets failed to join completely. The Augustus below has spots of core on the horses but the obverse is intact witha seam running a little way in from the outside edge.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]826765[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;The Antony legionary below shows much more core exposure and edge failure and there is darkness seeping out of the seam around the ship.&nbsp; I really like the minor core wear through on the high points of some letters like RP at obverse bottom.
