<p>[QUOTE="Orfew, post: 2254622, member: 74968"]For me it is about eye appeal and your coin has lots of it. It is certainly a coin that I would buy if I was in the market. I would consider the whole coin. First it is a coin of JC and this would have an impact on my decision. Next, that reverse is excellent and adds appeal to the coin. Also the lettering is very very nice and the name of Caesar is very clear. In addition the toning is also attractive. All of this adds up to an attractive coin. I personally am not that bothered by the off centered head of venus. Others might be, but that is up to their own preferences.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please see the coin below. Yes, it is worn. Yes, it is off entered and the flan is not round. Also, some of the legend on the reverse is missing. Is this still an attractive coin? IMHO yes it is and that is why I bought it. I was looking for a portrait denarius of JC and this was in an auction. I also know that it is a posthumous issue and has bankers marks.
