<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cucumbor, post: 2218249, member: 4298&quot;]Nice style is where the emotion is : a coin in EF condition is EF and that&#039;s all, gets a premium for that and that&#039;s OK, but no more (I&#039;m taking that easy as I like EF coins when I can afford them). But a coin engraved by a master scalptor, when you see it, is WOW ! increases your heartbeat and more...even ten years after you got it, when you hold it in hand it gives you the same feeling. </p><p><br /></p><p>All that stuff to say &quot;<i>Thanks JA for starting this thread, I like all those coins posted very much</i>&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some that give me that sort of emotion, and it&#039;s not just about republic or early empire, LRB&#039;s have their own...<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/11724/normal_0010-010np_noir.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b> Republic, Didrachm </b> Rome mint c. 269-266 BC</p><p>No legend, Diademed head of young Hercules right, with club and lion&#039;s skin over shoulder</p><p>ROMANO, She wolf right, suckling Romulus and Remus</p><p>7.29 gr</p><p>Ref : RCV # 24, RSC # 8</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/11724/0030-0210.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b> Octavian, Denarius </b> Italian mint, possibly Rome, 31-30 BC</p><p>Anepigraph, bare head of Octavian left</p><p>CAESAR - DIVI F, Victory standing right on globe, holding wreath</p><p>3.84 gr</p><p>Ref : HCRI # 408, RCV # 1552v, Cohen # 66, RIC # 255</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/11724/normal_0060-310np_noir.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b> Claudius, As&nbsp; </b> As produced at a &quot;branch mint&quot;, AD 41-42</p><p>TI CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG P M TR P IMP, Bare head of Claudius left</p><p>CONSTANTIAE AVGVSTI, Constantia helmeted standing left holding spear, SC in field</p><p>10,84 gr</p><p>Ref : RCV #1857, Cohen #14</p><p><br /></p><p>Q[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
