<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 3119465, member: 14873&quot;]<font face="Times New Roman">I collect coins for their historical association and the clarity and completeness of their inscriptions. Therefor neither of those coins is particularly appealing to me. Having said all that, I do admire well engraved portraits and depictions with fine detail. But it is difficult to find coins that have it all. Something like this (best example I could find quickly):</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><br /></font></p><p><b><font face="Times New Roman">RIC Volume VI, Lugdunum, No. 17a, Constantius, Caesar of the West</font></b></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><img src="http://jp29.org/lug17ao1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://jp29.org/lug17ar1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">..... and this coin I just bought from Victor Clark (great coin from a great dealer):</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><b>RIC VI, Alexandria, No. 99b, Constantine as Filius Augustorum</b></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><img src="http://jp29.org/000consfilo.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://jp29.org/000consfilr.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
