<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3134448, member: 19463&quot;]Rather recently it seems coin collectors stopped wanting coins that were not mint state and bought into the theory that MS69 is 1000% better than MS68.&nbsp; As far as I am concerned, that is the &quot;Emperor&#039;s New Clothes&quot; theory of collecting.&nbsp; Valentinian&#039;s theory that 98% is twice as bad as 99% is a level of calculation only a Math professor or modern coin collector could understand.&nbsp; We can decide if we see this as a glass half full or a glass half empty. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Is that a bee?&nbsp;&nbsp; I have never been clear on how the type was given to Attalos I with that EYMO monogram.&nbsp; I never looked in it deeply since I knew it would be the only Philetairos I would have.&nbsp;&nbsp; I do like your coin and hope to see what you do with the 96.6% change.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
