[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 8283403, member: 80952"]I have nothing against worn coins. And I like the OP coin (I see you reconsidered the decision of switching to raw modern coins, I am still thinking about it) Now being serious, when I buy a coin this is the checklist 1. the coin is interesting to me (emperor, period, city, historical events) 2. it is visually attractive [B]for me [/B]and tells a story also [B]for me. [/B] An important part is that I need to be able to identify the coin. Overall, I would add the OP coin in my albums without any doubts. I bought a lot of worn coins, many were not rare and I could have got them in better condition without breaking the bank but I wanted [B]that coin. [/B] This Verus sestertius would probably be skipped by 90% of the collectors - for me it's decent enough [ATTACH=full]1463148[/ATTACH] Herennia Etruscilla as also quite worn - but I like it [ATTACH=full]1463150[/ATTACH] From my latest auction - I needed a Saloninus but I don't want to pay the price for one in good shape. This one was cheap, attributable, all good [ATTACH=full]1463151[/ATTACH] Those are just recent examples, but the worn coin I like the most is this Trajan Column denarius.
