<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2100606, member: 42773&quot;]Well, it was bound to happen. You get a collector looking through a catalog and you can be almost sure he&#039;s going to buy a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>This checks off type #35, the three-short-turrets-no-star campgate. But this coin satisfies several of my collecting desires. It&#039;s a campgate variety I don&#039;t have yet, it&#039;s almost fully silvered, and it&#039;s got a beautifully-engraved small head bust. Some of these small busts on the Caesar kids are pretty goofy - shrunken heads, which gives them an interesting character to be sure. But this one is exceptional in its style: the beatific, child-like expression and the laurel crown with leaves that extend above the head...the more I looked at this coin, the more I simply HAD to have it.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is Victor Clark&#039;s image. I&#039;m curious to see what it&#039;s like in hand. I have several almost fully-silvered coins, and they&#039;re notoriously difficult to photograph. They look like entirely different coins when lit from different angles, but that of course is part of their charm - they are shape shifters...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]395032[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
