[QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 8350652, member: 83845"]In most cases I would take the plate coin unless there was a huge disparity in condition where the detail lost made the coin less historically interesting (Example: an Elagabalus with “horn” coin that was missing the horn). After all, plate coins were used as plate coins for a reason... usually because they show something especially interesting. For instance I would never trade my Dattari-Savio plate coin for any other example no matter how perfectly preserved. [ATTACH=full]1481577[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1481578[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
