<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 8060589, member: 85693&quot;]Thank you for the kind words [USER=80952]@ambr0zie[/USER]&nbsp; Given the price (under $20!), I&#039;m quite happy with it, but it does seem a bit &quot;off&quot; to me in ways beyond the condition - the weight is a bit low for a Flavian denarius, there&#039;s what almost looks like a jewelry solder blob on the bust, and the Venus is not rendered with great skill (her head is too small).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The rendering of Venus on your new coin is spectacular; my coin was made by the apprentice, yours made by the Master.&nbsp; She is well-proportioned (no small head) - you can even see her calf muscle.&nbsp; Nice portrait of Titus too.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, I agree with you - I like coins that look like they <i>worked</i> for a living.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
