<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2543557, member: 19463"]Everyone will have their own favorites when it come to style. The transitionals like AJ are what I'd call the finest art but I really would like the earlier Archaics that are more cute than artistic. I have neither. I do like the Classicals with almond eye. A friend of years gone by specialized owls but had the rule that Athena's nose had to be on flan and her smile had to be attractive. His wife would joke about his girls. More recently, there has been a movement from people requiring coins with lots of crest on flan to those wanting coins with no wear even if the flans are smaller. Test cuts remain only suitable for people like me. My friend would have liked the smile of the cut coin better bbut her nose is a bit too close for comfort. Opinions will always vary. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]545391[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]545392[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
