<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dadams, post: 3323428, member: 82194&quot;]<font face="Times New Roman">I do know dies were engraved by various artisans and obverses and reverses can and do vary, but I&#039;ve not collected long enough to become familiar with the points of &quot;Fine Style&quot; and would not immediately know if one coin was in a finer style than another. I can discern which I might prefer if I had a selection of the same coin lined up for examination. Condition and price play an important part in my current collecting - I hope to learn &quot;Style&quot; with the passage of time when perhaps I&#039;ve seen 100 of the same type.</font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Here are some of the Hendin 1586 Divus Vespasian &#039;Judaea Capta&#039; commemoratives struck under Titus that were sold at CNG. Is any one of these in a finer style than the others?&nbsp; I think I know which I&#039;d buy based on personal eye appeal and price.</font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Fine, toned, minor deposits. @ </font><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=246031" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=246031" rel="nofollow"><font face="Times New Roman">150.00</font></a></p><p><img src="https://www.cngcoins.com/photos/enlarged/3150396.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">VF @ </font><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=286310" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=286310" rel="nofollow"><font face="Times New Roman">550.00</font></a></p><p><img src="https://www.cngcoins.com/photos/enlarged/3520407.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Good VF, some luster remains, lightly toned. @ </font><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=320106" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=320106" rel="nofollow"><font face="Times New Roman">300.00</font></a></p><p><img src="https://www.cngcoins.com/photos/enlarged/955222.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Good VF, a pair of scratches on obverse, small flan flaw on reverse. @ </font><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=351145" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=351145" rel="nofollow"><font face="Times New Roman">320.00</font></a></p><p><img src="https://www.cngcoins.com/photos/enlarged/4110392.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Good VF, dark find patina, rough surfaces, cleaning scratches, some deposits. @ </font><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=285609" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=285609" rel="nofollow"><font face="Times New Roman">450.00</font></a></p><p><img src="https://www.cngcoins.com/photos/enlarged/3510625.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Good VF, toned. @ </font><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=244494" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=244494" rel="nofollow"><font face="Times New Roman">525.00</font></a></p><p><img src="https://www.cngcoins.com/photos/enlarged/3130227.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Good VF, toned, numerous cleaning scratches, small flan flaw on obverse. @ </font><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=275817" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=275817" rel="nofollow"><font face="Times New Roman">555.00</font></a></p><p><img src="https://www.cngcoins.com/photos/enlarged/3420541.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Near EF, toned. @ </font><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=202479" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=202479" rel="nofollow"><font face="Times New Roman">425.00</font></a></p><p><img src="https://www.cngcoins.com/photos/enlarged/2710422.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Near EF, toned. @ </font><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=246030" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=246030" rel="nofollow"><font face="Times New Roman">900.00</font></a></p><p><img src="https://www.cngcoins.com/photos/enlarged/3150395.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><i>Edited to add:&nbsp; looking at the last two coins they are the same, but sold for very different amounts.</i></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
