<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Volodya, post: 2800837, member: 19615&quot;]I guess I&#039;m reading a different forum than you are Doug, because I&#039;ve seen vanishingly little evidence of these &quot;sides&quot; you describe. No doubt I&#039;m an example of a &quot;condition collector&quot; in your eyes, yet I have no qualms about including in my collection quite worn specimens of genuinely rare denarii. (Granted, I have very strict criteria about what qualifies as &quot;rare.&quot;) Nor do I have anything but the utmost respect for David&#039;s Flavian collection, an ideal marriage of aesthetics and comprehensive scholarship. <b>Of course</b> the OP coin fits there seamlessly; why wouldn&#039;t it?</p><p><br /></p><p>A few coins from my collection: A rare denarius of Q.
