<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 26228543, member: 13650&quot;]This was a major one checked off my want list.&nbsp; Looked at so many of these I got tired of looking at them.&nbsp;&nbsp; Finally I decided on this one.&nbsp;&nbsp; Had never handled one in real life.&nbsp;&nbsp; The bust of Athena on the obverse is usually so large that some, if not a major part of the design is usually cut off.&nbsp; This one is no different.&nbsp;&nbsp; I guess you just have to pick what part of the design you want to see the most.&nbsp; &nbsp; The relief is crazy.&nbsp; Required a thicker holder.&nbsp;&nbsp; This is a bit over one half ounce of silver.&nbsp;&nbsp; It dwarfs the little, debased, Roman denarii that I&#039;ve been collecting lately.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Strike 5/Surface 3.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know what&#039;s wrong with the surface other than it is notated with &quot;scratches&quot;.&nbsp; There&#039;s a fine scratch on the cheek that is difficult to see. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1675116[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
