Seeing the obverse points out how disingenuous to this exercise really is. In my personal RR collection, I'm "notorious" for insisting on two-sided coins, even if the reverse is a boring, mundane depiction of the Dioscuri or Victory in biga. If I collected Greek though, I'd enthusiastically add this coin to my collection and never look back. This is a genuinely superb example of a type that typically is badly flawed. The "problems" on the reverse don't rise to the level of trivial. The 5 surface grade is entirely justified.</p><p><br /></p><p>Phil Davis[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
