<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2730442, member: 19463&quot;]The Richmond VA show yesterday was staffed by the usual suspects who brought more coins than usual or at least coins I could tolerate. Today is our yard sale so I won&#039;t be able to work much on cataloging the ten new purchases but this Antioch tetradrachm of Otho is the pick of the litter.&nbsp; I saw it last year at the same show and the dealer was now ready to sell for less.&nbsp; The high end crowd was uninterested because of the field scratches which show in the photo at least as strongly as in hand.&nbsp; Many of you only want perfect coins but some of us have to pick our faults.&nbsp; What I liked about the coin was the large flan and the avoidance of abbreviations. </p><p>AΥTOKΡATωΡ MAΡKOΣ OΘωN KAIΣAΡ ΣEBAΣTOΣ</p><p>How often do you see Marcus spelled out?&nbsp; 29mm 14.9g</p><p>[ATTACH=full]620670[/ATTACH]</p><p>The reverse eagle sits atop the standard ETOVC A for year one which is all we can find for this short term Caesar. </p><p>Pile on your Othos and coins you saw in a dealer stock for a long time before you bought them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
