<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2160984, member: 19463&quot;]A problem with ancients is so many of us see things differently when it comes to grade and desirability.&nbsp; I am really hard on rough surfaces unless the coin is extremely interesting in some special way which none of these are.&nbsp; I am a fan of interesting or different reverses so I might consider that Postumus if it had one.&nbsp; The Gallienus is a sharp reverse strike of a very common die.&nbsp; Again, I would love the coin with a different reverse but would expect the Pax one to be low priced.&nbsp; Others of us here never look at the reverse and only care about the portrait.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The question we all have to answer is how deeply we insist on having exactly what we want either in type or grades and how important we consider getting a good &#039;deal&#039;.&nbsp;&nbsp; I approve of most of your selections compared to what we generally see as &#039;first ancients&#039;.&nbsp; Your decision to upgrade the Postumus is interesting.&nbsp; We will be interested in seeing the new one.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I regularly prove my tastes in coins are different from many.&nbsp; You are invited to see my favorite coins (and why!) posted on the link below:</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/favs.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/favs.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/favs.html</a></p><p>While I really like Postumus and have several, none made the cut for this page.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure why.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
