[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 3060067, member: 8959"]Very nice! Beautiful tone and great surfaces in spite of minor imperfections. Congratulations:). I agree with previous comments that Otho denarii are not rare, or even scarce, but almost everybody wants one.... This is interesting, if you consider that: ''In the emperor Otho, ....one can find little to admire. .......(he) grew up as a pampered playboy with a taste for the finer things in life. .....Otho was the first to openly attain office through the murder of his predecessor. ......(his) reign was as brief, chaotic, and desperate as it was degrading''. In spite of this, I also succumbed to the desire to add an Otho to my collection: [ATTACH=full]767377[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]767378[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
