<p>[QUOTE="Paul M., post: 3649901, member: 73165"]Any flaw I can find with this coin is basically nitpicking. You have a nice coin with excellent centering and some honest wear. If it were mine, the only things I could possibly even ask for are more of the letters on flan (even though they are fully readable, having the full letters just makes it that much easier), and a higher grade. Other than that, I think [USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER]'s post pretty much covers it for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you ever intend to get into Antonine silver coinage, you should definitely find a copy of Cohen and the Reka Devnia Hoard book. Using these 2 together, you can get a much better idea of the rarity of 2nd century silver than any other single reference I know of gives you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
