<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3046721, member: 19463&quot;]I had been wanting one of these for some time.&nbsp; There have been quite a few on the market over the last few years so they can not be called scarce but the right coin has not been easy for me to find.&nbsp; These two coins were sold in the last two Robinson auctions.&nbsp; Which one should I have purchased and which was a mistake?&nbsp; I guarantee that what makes a coin more appealing to me is different than what would make it popular in many circles.&nbsp; Both are Gordian III silver drachms of Caesarea.&nbsp; One is year four; one is year five. There are other differences that would mean nothing to most people.&nbsp; I would be interested in hearing what you see that means anything.&nbsp; Of course, a good number here want nothing to do with Gordian, provincials, drachms or less than mint state coins so the choice would be a a resounding &#039;neither&#039;.&nbsp;&nbsp; I would really like it if anyone having a preference would explain why rather than just saying one or the other.</p><p><br /></p><p>Year four</p><p>[ATTACH=full]761390[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Year five</p><p>[ATTACH=full]761384[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
