<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NicholasMaximus, post: 4539493, member: 111966&quot;]It looks like Postumus and Victorinus are going to win in a landslide. This is what I expected, the portrait on the Postumus immediately drew me in. Victorinus was clearly the best coin of the second tier in my opinion, especially since the Constantine is fairly common. </p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I like the Diocletian the best (postumus was a close second). The way I see it, Postumus has a great portrait but a weak reverse. Valentinian II has a great reverse (my favorite reverse of the bunch) but a weaker portrait. The Diocletian coin has some wear on it, but i felt like it had a solid portrait and a strong reverse, so it is the most balanced all around. I also have a strong affinity for Diocletian, so that likely factors into my equation. </p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] I bought the Constantine because I already had the same coin for him and wanted a more detailed duplicate from another mint. The facial details are different, and I like having them side by side in my coin binder. </p><p><br /></p><p>All of the second tiers very affordable (the Honorius was only 8 bucks) and it might sound funny, but I think the figures on it look a bit like Aliens, which made me want it even more. There is also something about the helmets on the Constantine II that I like. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks to all who voted, shared there thoughts and to anyone who does so after this comment![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
