<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jay GT4, post: 3148589, member: 88526&quot;]I think we all have some so-called ugly coins in our collections and I think we all started out buying very worn or problem coins.&nbsp; Nothing wrong with that, I&#039;d never put someone down for what they collect.&nbsp; I have several myself!</p><p><br /></p><p>However I think we all grow in our collecting.&nbsp; It usually takes a long time to come to the realization that if I don&#039;t buy 10 or 20 really rough coins I can buy one or two really nice coins.&nbsp; So rather than get 10 coins over several months at $10 each I can get a really nice coin for $100.&nbsp; I know, I know it takes discipline to do this but I think the end result is a better collection.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Got this one cheap but I eventually sold it because it was ugly.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]806132[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>NERO CLAVD CAESAR AVG GERM P M TR P IMP P P</p><p>laureate head left, globe at point of bust</p><p><br /></p><p>S C across field, triumphal arch, hung with wreath across front, surmounted by statue of the emperor in a quadriga preceeded by Pax, holding caduceus and cornucopiae, and Victory, holding wreath and palm; two nude figures standing on either side of attic ornamented with Victories; helmeted statue of Mars in side niche of arch; pedestals decorated with friezes of battle scenes. </p><p><br /></p><p>Rome 64 AD</p><p><br /></p><p>23.28g</p><p><br /></p><p>RIC I 143; WCN 126; BMCRE 183; BN 303; Cohen 308</p><p><br /></p><p>Ex-Londinium</p><p><br /></p><p>Damnatio Memoriae? 2 Chisel marks on reverse have damaged the portrait on the obverse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
