<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1831627, member: 42773&quot;]Doug, I recently bought one of these VRBS ROMA/VOT mules, and the pretty coin won out over the weak mint mark. I can&#039;t quite make it out: Heraclea? Nicomedia? I can&#039;t post any close-ups as I don&#039;t have it in hand yet. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure you must know that these odd little mutants are quite scarce and typically ugly. I watched this piece for a week and hunted down pics of every example of the type I could find, and eventually the pretty coin outweighed the weak mint mark, just because most of its kin was so decrepit. In fact, this coin is one of the best examples of its type, from what I&#039;ve seen, but I do get your point: a bold mint mark would have made it exceptional.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://postimage.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://postimage.org/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://s23.postimg.org/7h23faiu3/urbs1700.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
