[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 8085307, member: 10461"]I too find it important to impress laypeople, for some reason. It's another reason I try to do my writeups in a more "general audience" style and keep the jargon and abbreviations to a minimum. You never know, that layman who's looking at your coin today might be your collecting colleague next year. I agree that "low grade" and "ugly" are definitely NOT synonymous. I find there are a number of low grade but appealing coins. And I like your Crispina, but then I like Crispinas in general. Speaking of low grade but appealing Crispinas, this sestertius was in my first Roman collection. Love that giraffe neck and the stately looking portrait.
