<p>[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2429233, member: 76194"]The portrait sold the coin. Good portraits of Vespasian are not easy to find. He looks like a grumpy old man in most of them, and a lot are worse for wear. I hear that has to do a lot with the silver content of Flavian coins being higher, thus making the metal softer and wear more prevalent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
