<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2385576, member: 19463"]JB's coin has a lot that I look for in one of these. The flan is large enough to contain the design even though the obverse centering is not perfect. The portrait of Agrippa shows the rostral crown clearly and both faces strike me as well executed and look like the individual. Getting both ends of the crocodile on flan is not something you take for granted. The coin shows the expected adjustment scratches but thy do not destroy important detail. The legend is complete save the very bottom of the DIVI F and the chain is exceptionally clear. You will not find better reverse centering. How many of these do you see with full dotted border? Certainly there is wear which would make it undesirable to people who can't stand wear but the only fault I see on the coin is the uneven coloring. I would be proud to have that coin in my collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
