<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2613605, member: 19463"]Nice coin! I do not place a lot of value in rarity claims based on whether or not a coin is listed in some work. It is equally possible that a one of a kind coin happened to be in a certain collection so was known to the author/cataloger as it is it a collection happened to be missing a type that was found by the hundreds and deposited in a different museum. Like yours, my examples show how random placement of the dimple can be more or less fortunate from a collector's standpoint. One of mine wipes out Gordian; another Tranquillina. The first one is off center enough that you can see the concentric scrapings that centered on the dimple. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]572221[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]572222[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]572223[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]572224[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
