<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TuckHard, post: 5006420, member: 102653&quot;]I don&#039;t have much reservations on wornness and quality if the price is low enough, I mainly collect for the history and connection so I do like wear on a lot of my pieces. All of that being said, the coin below has got to be one of my least favorite ancients I own. I bought it for $5 or so because I liked that it was a single year issue, 100 BCE, and I liked the price. In hand, however, it&#039;s quite disappointing and the wear around the lips of the bust looks almost cartoonish to me. I still think the $5 was a fair deal though. I forget who, but another CoinTalk user has one of these coins in much, much better condition. It&#039;s neat to compare the same coins in drastically different conditions.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1201249[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center">Roman Republic</p> <p style="text-align: center">100 BCE</p> <p style="text-align: center">L Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus &amp; Q Servilius Caepio</p> <p style="text-align: center">AR Denarius | 3.29 grams | 19mm</p> <p style="text-align: center">Obv: PISO CAEPIO Q, head of Saturn right, harpa behind; wreath above</p> <p style="text-align: center">Rev: AD FRV EMV EX SC, the two quaestors seated left between 2 grain ears</p> <p style="text-align: center">Ref: Crawford 330.1a // Syd 603</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
