<p>[QUOTE="svessien, post: 7384380, member: 15481"]What I like very much about the new Diocletian, is that it is an early issue of the argentus. Perhaps it’s even among the first ones made who knows? And it is truly in mint state, there is no sign of wear or bag marks. The patina is very light and thin, looking more like 1700 years of dust than 1700 years of sand. </p><p>I imagine that it’s a coin that has been picked right out of production and taken care of, perhaps sent to a supervisor for inspection, or perhaps to the emperor himself? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Yeah, that’s a fun thing about this hobby. It feeds the imagination.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
