<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2547482, member: 19463&quot;]These last few coins are perfect examples of the reason so many of us do not like grading ancients with the standard &#039;fine and friends&#039; system.&nbsp; How do you allow for&nbsp; a missing galley as opposed to missing windows?&nbsp; Still the galley free coin is by far the most well done on the lighthouse and reverse.&nbsp; Not all coin types run into problems like this to the degree of this one but the question comes up with alarming frequency.&nbsp; Certainly the answer many of us will support is owning more than one coin to show the entire design.&nbsp; I do know that a single specimen of this type combining the best features of each coin shown here would be a huge hit in the salesroom.&nbsp;&nbsp; I tend to favor the Triton V coin despite its worn away windows but its style is not the equal of the Carthago coin.&nbsp; Lets face it:&nbsp; I&#039;d love one like Zumbly&#039;s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
