[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 3083376, member: 44316"]Near perfection is worth a great premium, as the OP shows and US coin collectors insist. Here are a couple of mine that are good enough for me: [ATTACH=full]776798[/ATTACH] Silvered 19 mm. 3.52 grams. Again, with the dot to the left of the mintmark. RIC may have not mentioned it, but we have several coins confirming it now. Close to RIC Antioch 77 (no dot) and 69 (no dot) and the mintmark is of the next issue which is without Fausta in RIC and attributed to 328-9, page 691, but these coins show the date of that issue is really earlier since Fausta was executed in 326. ex CNG 324 (April 9, 2014) lot 474 at $60+fees (I bought it later, not directly from CNG). (Anyone who pays an extra $300 for a "rare" dot deserves what they get.) [ATTACH=full]776799[/ATTACH] The one has Fausta with a large hairdo. I got it for the style (Okay, the condition was part of it too). SMTSB. RIC Thessalonica 161. What a portrait![/QUOTE]
