[QUOTE="Collect89, post: 1632065, member: 15445"][b]Thanks for the thought provoking post.[/b] Everything else being equal, I would take the coin #3. However, I am not an experienced ancient coin collector. I would suspect that an ancient collector with more experience than I might take coin #4. #1 I can see the whole crocodile but the coin is too far gone for me to enjoy it as much as the others #2 I can’t see much through the green patina (candy coating). #3 I really like the detail that is visible and regret that some letters are off the planchet & really regret that it hasn’t yet recovered from the cleaning abrasion. #4 I like that it is nicely centered & toned & all letters are visible. However, I am drawn back to #3 where there are more details to be seen including the chain which completes the story on the reverse.[/QUOTE]
