<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1632842, member: 26302&quot;]I don&#039;t disagree with your writeup IOM. I would agree #5 is technically superior, full strike on a large flan so the entire strike is captured.</p><p><br /></p><p>To me, though, style is as important or more so than technical grades. If two coins are halfway close on technical grades, I will go for the better style every time. Maybe its the same as what I did in US collecting, much prefering an attractive AU to an ugly MS coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>For me, the &quot;bonus&quot; is when so many collectors value strictly based on grade. I love it when they feel an aXF is worth way more than a VF, because that allows me to get a VF of high style cheaper than their pricing structure. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Concerning these coins, I simply don&#039;t believe I have ever seen such a fine, artistic likeness of Julius as good as #3. If I had deep pockets, and were a serious JC collector, that coin would be my penultimate achievement, grades be darned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
