<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2366449, member: 42773&quot;]Here&#039;s an RR denarius, Albinus, Malleolus, and Metellus, 96 BC. Ordinarily I prefer less wear on my denarii, but this coin spoke very strongly to me for the detail it had. In particular, even on higher grade examples, one frequently finds really off-center reverse strikes that chop off Victory&#039;s head or wings. Despite the wear on this coin, the reverse is struck so that the full design is able to speak: Victory crowning Roma seated on shields...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]483435[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Not to mention the coin has no scratches, no graffiti, and only one tiny banker&#039;s mark. I&#039;m not really fond of the expression, &quot;nice for the grade,&quot; but this coin is really nice for the grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
