<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Restitutor, post: 4595077, member: 112621&quot;]Hi Doug,</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the super informative reply! Had your words not already convinced me on my decision, seeing your version of this coin most certainly did. You have quite an exceptional version! I believe my desire for an EF Trajan denarius almost blinded me <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> into buying something I would have regretted very shortly thereafter. I&#039;m trying to move very slow and deliberately in amassing my collection and your shared knowledge on this topic has helped me avoid a mistake in that endeavor! </p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the portrait - I find that very interesting. I have seen a number of early Trajan coins where his face looks, pardon my French, quite ugly compared to later issues. I had no idea it was due to a transition from the Nerva portraits into ones that look more like Trajan. I now want to collect more early Trajan coins just for that fact![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
