[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 8066384, member: 115909"]Thanks Marco! I’m a Capricorn myself as well and I definitely agree with you that yours has a more appealing reverse. The reverse on mine is kind of standard issue and many Emperors seemed to love to use a similar design so it’s not particularly unique. On the other hand when I was looking at denarii to bid on for my collection I had to remember that the number 1 focus of my collection is different Emperors during the Pax Romana and so it’s the portrait of the Emperor that I place top priority in. This coin has a weird bit of metal at the edge and I think it would look better if that was removed [I]but [/I]I am absolutely going to leave it because I’m sure if I shaved it off it would probably be considered detrimental to the coin itself. So I guess it’s stuck with the odd shape even if it would look better without the extra slag. One thing is for sure though: this is the most expensive denarius in my collection.[/QUOTE]
