<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3119348, member: 19463"]I always have the same answer when this question is asked: Neither. You choose when a coin is rare or when price makes all the difference. You will see a hundred of these offered in the next year so you will find the one you want at a price you can tolerate in due time. Ides shows a nice coin but if you don't want to spend $160+, hang in there. Personally, if I were to have just one horned coin, I would rather have the 'other' reverse with a nice clear ELAGAB at reverse right. Mine was $50 at a show ten years ago so it would be more now ---- much more at a big name auction. [ATTACH=full]793351[/ATTACH]</p><p>I bought it to upgrade the facial hair of this one that was $50 also at a show 20 years ago. Strike, centering, style, hair, reverse type, legend legibility ----too many choices. A person could end up with a roll of the things if not careful.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]793352[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
