<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2550443, member: 19463&quot;]A minority among us consider artistry ahead of grade.&nbsp; Modern US coins almost always have the same artistry as all their brethren. The exception that comes to mind is the $20 high relief gold.&nbsp; Ancients with the same catalog number can have VERY different die cutting skills.&nbsp; TIF&#039;s Claudius is really exceptional.&nbsp; I buy good and bad but I prefer good ones and may pay a bit more for a face with personality than I would for a generic one.&nbsp; Perhaps it is easier to get a personable image from an emperor with an ugly face but I&#039;m still looking for pretty ones, too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Severus Alexander</p><p>[ATTACH=full]547979[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Maximinus I (not all that great but I like the reverse)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]547980[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Philip I</p><p>[ATTACH=full]547981[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Gallienus</p><p>[ATTACH=full]547982[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Where does billon stop and potin start?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
