<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1871026, member: 19463&quot;]The coin is a good start for $10.&nbsp; Many ancients have a crack and yours is in no way improved by the crack but that is a minor fault compared to the granular surface texture.&nbsp;&nbsp; Part of this may be a photo that makes it look worse than it is.&nbsp; Compare yours to the one posted by John Anthony which has a bit smoother surfaces.&nbsp; All ancients have been cleaned so the skills of separating the good ones from the impaired differ from those needed for collecting modern coins.&nbsp; Yours is far from &#039;bad&#039; but it has better details than it does &#039;eye appeal&#039; just because of the way it survived being buried for centuries and cleaned when it was found. </p><p><br /></p><p>Licinius is a common emperor who, for reasons I do not understand, has less of a following than some other personalities of his period.&nbsp; I suggest you research the history of the man and his period in history.&nbsp; It will probably suggest to you a few other coins that you might want to buy next.&nbsp; Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
