<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2350163, member: 19463"]These are not rare coins. What is rare is a really nice one. Phil's has a lot going for it in the race for the top spot. I do prefer the die work on Carthago's coin but legend loss on both sides is a lot more of a fault to my eyes than is a little wear. Of course I'm with Bing except mine was 0.67% and too worn to tell if it was a good die or not. I love the sideburn detail on Carthago's coin so I'll be looking for a full legend, full sideburns, clear pig upgrade for mine. The features that make each of us prefer one coin over another is what makes an auction an auction. I pity the poor fools who can buy an MS65 secure in the knowledge their coin is better than an MS64.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
