<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 981780, member: 19463"]That is a Tye 6 and not as worn as the one I have. A problem with a coin that is issued on similar weight standards for so long is that they stay in circulation making worn examples more common. Yours is better centered and better struck than many but still hard to accept by those of us coming to collecting these from Romans that are the regularly found in well centered VF condition. The move to outlines has begun but gets more severe later when the legends change to Samanta Deva. If I took all of my coins of this type, I could rank them selecting best face on the bull, best rider, best legends etc. but no one coin would win several categories. It is like they went out of their way to strike unevenly or all the good ones never make it to market. Rather few dealers will carry them but the ones that do tend to have several. As ugly as many are, that is not surprising.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
