I would be willing to accept a lot more flaws then this, basically, I looked at this one, determined that the flaw on the back was not enough to make me dislike the coin or feel I paid too much for it, so I brought it home.

[QUOTE="Billy Kingsley, post: 713799, member: 19456"]WOW. I am impressed to say the least. I can't even properly put into words how much that post there impressed me! With your permission I would like to add that entire first paragraph into my Excel coin collection chart. I didn't have a chance yet to pull out my chart of Emporors...I really should convert it to Excel at some point! Grades don't mean a whole lot to me...I chose this one because I could afford it, the dealer (Fred B.

I looked for a bowing emoticon but couldn't find one! I think you gave me both links Stainless :) On a related topic, does anyone else find that the more different Roman coins you get the more you want to add to that collection and learn more about them?[/QUOTE]
