<p>[QUOTE="Milesofwho, post: 3150515, member: 91469"]This is the first time I’ve really felt compelled to write about the two coins above, mostly because someone else’s post summed up my feelings on the matter and I didn’t see the point in being redundant. For the first coin, it is one I am familiar with. I knew the story behind the coin before it was told here. The writing was nice though. The coin itself has nice toning, and a nice story to back it up. The second one was one I was completely unfamiliar with. I knew that Domitius Domitianus was an Alexandrian usurper who issued a few coins, but knew not much more than that. I certainly didn’t know he issued coins in the names of the Tetrarchs, or the history of how the revolt started and failed. The writeup had great flow to it, and was very colorful. The coin has great silvering, and thus great condition. Overall, my general thoughts on the matter was that it was a battle between the often-told story and something completely new. My votes reflect my feelings on the matter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
