<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2266030, member: 19463&quot;]For those with few big coins:&nbsp; I am always amazed at the difference in appearance of the various tets.&nbsp; I went to a show last Friday and saw a beautiful Lysimachus with high rekief portrait and fine style ($800 so I did not buy it). The same dealer had a nice Syracuse with smaller diameter and low relief but the flan was so thick that it weighed as much as the Lysimachus (and cost more).&nbsp; A-noob&#039;s Side is a type impressive for its diameter because they are not all that thick.&nbsp; Even if we gave diameters on our photos, we could not convey just how big 30mm is compared to 28mm when the things are in hand.&nbsp; Thick counts, too. Photos are hard to make cover every detail.&nbsp; If they were easy, more of us would collect coin photos rather than coins.&nbsp; My coins are proud of their faults which is good since they have so many.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.pbase.com/dougsmit/image/112633508.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
