<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2096312, member: 19463&quot;]That certainly raises the question of just how many of us recognize the difference between the mints and would like this coin because it is good for Rome.&nbsp; It would not be as &#039;special&#039; for Antioch.&nbsp; I would not say Rome was bad during the early period from which this coin dates (it got worse later) but I have not been able to find as many well preserved Rome coins as some of the other mints.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This same question applies to many ancient coins.&nbsp; Some issues we expect to see well struck and mint state while others are hardly ever either let alone both.&nbsp; I believe that explains why we see some collections missing certain issues.&nbsp; If you only collect perfect and perfect does not exist, do you just not buy?&nbsp; This is certainly more than good enough for me - perhaps my finest hut.&nbsp; It outshines my other Rome mint coins of Constantius in terms of eye appeal.&nbsp; I like Rome from this era. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]393639[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]393640[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]393641[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t have a Constans FEL TEMP from Rome.&nbsp; Do you?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
