<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1641752, member: 42773&quot;]So I pulled the trigger on this little coinoid for a number of reasons. First of all, it was on sale CHEAP from a reputable ancients dealer. Secondly, I looked at all of these types online that I could find (and it wasn&#039;t that many - maybe they&#039;re scarce or maybe there&#039;s little interest among collectors) and I found many more expensive coins that didn&#039;t look nearly as nice as this one, even though they had full cornucopias on the reverse. In fact I didn&#039;t find any that graded better than Fine in my uneducated opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I like about this coin is that the lovely green patina accents the detail of the jugate busts - I think it has a lot of eye-appeal. And this is now my oldest coin (which probably won&#039;t last long, however). From what I saw in my research, I think this is definitely the kind of coin where you would need several examples to represent the type.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;ve got any of these, please post them, especially if you&#039;re found an example where the devices on both sides are complete. I&#039;d like to see it!</p><p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://postimage.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://postimage.org/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://s9.postimage.org/rqxw9e61r/malichus3a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
