[QUOTE="Ancientnoob, post: 2203060, member: 44140"]Aww many! I generally like most coins I buy and finding a good coin from a dumpy photo is a skill. Quite some time ago I purchased an tetradrachm of Vima Kadphises, a Kushan King, the tetradrachm was large both in weight and diameter and seemed a bit of rough on the surface, compared to most coins in my collection lacked substantial detail for my liking. As time went on, I came to realize that most Kushan bronze coins in general are battered to Hades, and my example was better than most but not as good as some, but I had good obverse facial detail, a decent amount of legend and a good amount of all the important parts that the coin could be appreciated. The tamgha of Vilma Kadphises and a decent hermaphroditic Shiva. I enjoy the coin very much. [ATTACH=full]429400[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
