<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2246152, member: 19463"]There are coins like this that are worth $45. Julian's falling horsemen came at a time when 99% were poorly struck and missing lot of detail. They were made from various mint cities by workers that varied a lot in ability. Find a nice big round smooth unworn well executed one and $45 would seem cheap.

Sellers are always willing to ask too much and we need to decide whether we are anious enough to pay or wait for the next great find.

[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2246152, member: 19463"]There are coins like this that are worth $45. Julian's falling horsemen came at a time when 99% were poorly struck and missing lot of detail.
