<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1989197, member: 19463"]There is a lot to be learned from Mat's link. The seller of your selection has other coins of the type with higher prices and less detail. That should give a hint as to how he values the surface problems on the OP coin. There are coins with considerably lower prices that I would prefer to the OP and a few with higher prices that I would consider worth the extra money but our hobby is full of examples of differing opinions and I doubt our group here would ever be able to agree on which of these many examples was the best buy even in a specific price range. Certainly this shows that there are enough of these things that we do not need to be in a hurry to select one but can wait and find one that fits our desires. You say that you really want one of these. The fact that there are so many being offered but that the prices are so high shows that you are not alone. It is a very popular type. I have had mine for decades but always wished it showed the trident head clearly.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]355892[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
