<p>[QUOTE=&quot;snewman, post: 2053027, member: 31036&quot;]Doug, I was just reading a page on Theodosius II when I saw your note.&nbsp; Was thinking that the COTI may actually be a CON.&nbsp; Thanks for the confirmation!&nbsp; The text is hard to make anything out of even though it has strong detail, just not a great engraver of tiny coins perhaps?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also appreciate the discussion on investment in this arena.&nbsp; About 6-10 years ago, I wanted the nicest Vespasian Judea Capta Denarius I could find.&nbsp; Ended up buying the one that is the photo example of RIC 2 (Sear 2296) on wildwinds.&nbsp; Pretty sure I could double my money on that now, but I certainly don&#039;t expect that sort of return on anything else I&#039;m playing with.&nbsp; Your write-up sure sounds spot on for the market and is excellent advice.&nbsp; Much appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>While paying at or under $10 a coin to learn, I&#039;m pretty comfortable with my price per learning point.&nbsp; As John Anthony suggested, perhaps I&#039;ll eventually need to start looking to the gold for the better detail.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
