<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 2192277, member: 39084&quot;]My personal perspective on these two coins is that coin B isn&#039;t really a &quot;portrait&quot; coin of Julius Caesar, since so much of his profile is missing from the obverse. </p><p><br /></p><p>While the graffiti and scratches detract enormously from the obverse of coin A, it is a full portrait and of about-average quality as portraits on these coins go.&nbsp; The beheaded Victory on the reverse is somewhat of a negative but a better tradeoff than a partial obverse portrait.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s easy to recommend option C -- wait for a better coin -- if you&#039;re a collector whose budget could accommodate a better coin at a higher price.&nbsp; While it sounds facile to say this, if you&#039;re at all able to take this route then I would suggest you continue looking for a better coin and be prepared to spend more.&nbsp; If not, coin B is my choice for a better portrait despite its graffiti and scratches.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
