[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 7969204, member: 44316"]460 euros hammer for a Herennia Etruscilla is high, but she often has an ugly portrait and is usually struck with worn dies. Here is one I got recently after a lot of looking and a few losses, at cost including shipping of $91: [ATTACH=full]1382199[/ATTACH] 22 mm. 3.00 grams. PVDICTIA AVG RIC IV.II (Trajan Decius) 58b. This portrait is attractive, unlike many. There is wear at the ear and the dies show wear in the lettering. If this coin is unusually nice, what is the even nicer Leu coin worth? You can see the Leu coin has less wear and a crisper strike, if not entirely fresh dies. Apparently, a little nicer can mean a lot more expensive, but isn't that true for all coins at the top end? I've seen a lot of crazy prices recently in the sense a coin that nice could be had for a fraction of the price. But, with the Leu Herennia, I'm not sure it would be easy to find another one that nice.[/QUOTE]
