<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1390989, member: 19463&quot;]While I agree this is a pretty coin and a Diadumenian, it will suffer in marketability by lacking the few letters that would make it identifiable easily by everyone.&nbsp; I suspect that showing it to 100 dealers would find fewer than half calling it Diadumenian with the others split between Caracalla and Elagabalus simply because that name Antoninos is so bold, the Opelius is off flan and the type was one that did not use Diadumenian.&nbsp; Similarly, the lion would sell better with his head struck up rather than the tail.&nbsp; For such a pretty coin it sure made all the unpopular choices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
