<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mat, post: 3068455, member: 21445&quot;]With your &quot;Favorite&quot; thread going on, what would you say is your &quot;Least Favorite Coin&quot; in your collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know it hard to say as we all bought our coins for one reason or another.</p><p><br /></p><p>My least favorite is this Crispina/Juno denarius.</p><p><br /></p><p>I got it for less than $40 several years ago. It is not rare but the type has a well known counterfeit. In hand, the coin is pretty ho-hum, kinda lifeless and the reverse is flat.</p><p><br /></p><p>The photo makes it look better too.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s better than many examples I have seen but I am always on the lookout for a replacement in a reasonable price.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fi46.tinypic.com%2F23jrew9.jpg&amp;hash=f2792fbf0de29b53ebb060460cb90662" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>AR Denarius</p><p>O: CRISPINA AVGVSTA,Draped bust right.</p><p>R: IVNO, Juno standing facing, head left, holding scepter and patera; to left, peacock standing left.</p><p>2.74g</p><p>19mm</p><p>Rome</p><p>RIC 283 (Commodus), RSC 021</p><p><br /></p><p>I will also add this Otacilia Severa Tetradrachm.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is just ugly, and in hand...a bit worse.
