<p>[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2465723, member: 56859"]In general, I prefer coins without bankers' marks and when they have them, I'd like them to be in the fields. It's all about eye appeal though, and sometimes they don't detract much even when on a device. Often the coins sell for less when there are such marks. I'll happily accept the bankers' marks on this denarius-- it made the price more reasonable and the coin is otherwise very nice for the type.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.wixstatic.com%2Fmedia%2Fae43f8_b1ffa85f24c54fc2918749032a819ecd.jpg%2Fv1%2Ffill%2Fw_1000%2Ch_504%2Cal_c%2Cq_90%2Fae43f8_b1ffa85f24c54fc2918749032a819ecd.jpg&hash=93d362402082d528379f201ba66861e6" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>Roman Imperatorial, moneyer L.
