[QUOTE="differential, post: 7680256, member: 120104"]There is a Roman Emperor coin from the first century I'm looking at. I've been searching awhile for this and they are a bit hard to find, I think. To me the coin looks beautiful--it's a golden bronze with some brown corrosion and specks of green corrosion. The blend of these gives it a singular appearance. It doesn't look like it's going to obliterate in the next century or so. The total effect, to me, is stunning. The coin seems to have a glow about it. I know on Early American Coins this much corrosion (to many people)would detract from the coin. The coin is from a trusted dealer from whom I've worked with before, and it's guaranteed by their experts, and they'll buy it back anytime if it shows itself to not be authentic. BTW I often trust my intuition and judge coins overall, although I'm well aware of how to grade. In general, what's your thinking on these two issues when you buy ancient coins? I have six more seven ancient coins, so I am at the start of a learning curve. Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]
