[QUOTE="Multatuli, post: 3126799, member: 89266"]Excellent thread, as always, Martin! I have the same Doug’s opinion. In my collection, I probably have more F than VF, specially considering the LRB and the poor sestertii, that I purchased a lot of years ago, on the early days. But rare coins that I will not be able to afford them in better conditions, naturally I do not care so much about the grade. Here is an example. Very rare ruler (empress): [ATTACH=full]796955[/ATTACH] [B]Aelia Zenonis. [/B]Augusta, AD 475-476. Æ (11mm, 0.75 g, 6h). Constantinople mint. Struck under Basiliscus, AD 476. Pearl-diademed and draped bust right / Zenonis monogram within wreath. RIC X 1018; LRBC 2287 corr. (monogram). Fair, dark brown patina. Hey, Greg! I don’t have a Saloninus yet! I accept it in the next Saturnalia!:D:D[/QUOTE]
