<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2270375, member: 19463&quot;]That is a nice enough coin and a good start, especially if you use it as a guide to your next purchase.&nbsp; You mention that you do not consider it &#039;best&#039; so ask yourself how you would change it and make your next coin better in that manner.&nbsp; If that were my coin, the only thing that bothers me is the off center reverse losing the head of the charioteer.&nbsp; Others might not care about that but think the little bit of wear on the coin is a deal breaker.&nbsp; Others might want a coin with more tone. What we think is not important; what you think most certainly is. </p><p><br /></p><p>I do have one strong opinion about this coin.&nbsp; It is slabbed.&nbsp; Leave it in the slab.&nbsp; I do not like and do not own slabs but I believe this one is overgraded on the strike number (they do not care about the centering???).&nbsp; You will have an easier time selling this coin to someone who is buying the slab than to someone who is buying the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>You will get opinions from many of us and we will agree on less than half of the questions you ask.&nbsp; Realize from the start that there is no &#039;right&#039; answer to so many questions.&nbsp; Have fun.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
