<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3026835, member: 19463&quot;]I agree with this to a great degree.&nbsp; I do not require a coin to be high grade but I do avoid things that can not be identified.&nbsp; That means I would avoid an EF late Roman with mintmark off flan unless it bore some characteristic that made me certain what was missing.&nbsp;&nbsp; For example, I am not sure what came over me that made me buy the Theodora below.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]753695[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand, the Julia Domna below is missing some important legend but is still the best of its type I have seen so buying it was done without a second thought.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]753697[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>We each will define &#039;interesting&#039; and &#039;low quality&#039; differently. I have gone public with what I consider &#039;interesting&#039; on my Favorites page.&nbsp; The coins on it range in value starting from $6 and up (over 100x up).&nbsp; Cheap has nothing to do with being uninteresting.</p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/favgroup.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/favs.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/favs.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/favs.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
