<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2264113, member: 19463&quot;]TIF, I am glad you clarified you wanted a Hostilia 4 rather than the Hostilia 2.&nbsp; The show I attended yesterday had a nice 2 for sale by a young dealer I know.&nbsp; He tends to pay too much for coins and marks them up to a point that he can offer big discounts.&nbsp; Yesterday I heard two other people talking about the coin saying that they would gladly pay $1000 for it but he was asking $3000.&nbsp; Now that is scary.&nbsp; I can&#039;t say I see anything scary about the coin</p><p><br /></p><p>My offering here is this faceless goat/Juno of L. Papius.&nbsp; Can you believe some ghoul bit off here entire face in one snip?&nbsp; ...or did she do it herself playing with that evil harpa behind her head.&nbsp; This was long before safety labels were required on toy harpas.&nbsp; The reverse minor type is, according to Banti #176, a sword in scabbard but I am not sure how we are supposed to see that.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know what I would call it.&nbsp;&nbsp; What is really scary is that I would buy a &#039;Stannard scooped&#039; coin this bad but it is a really clear coin other than its one little problem and has a really nice harpa.[ATTACH=full]449868[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The BM&#039;s is better by far!</p><p><a href="http://collection.britishmuseum.org/resource?uri=http://collection.britishmuseum.org/id/object/CGR154858" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://collection.britishmuseum.org/resource?uri=http://collection.britishmuseum.org/id/object/CGR154858" rel="nofollow">http://collection.britishmuseum.org/resource?uri=http://collection.britishmuseum.org/id/object/CGR154858</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
