stevex6 Pillar of the Community 3352 Posts	Posted 10/11/2012 9:19 pm I like your desert patina angle ... and I like the first two coins that you've shown ... I don't think that the oxen coin is detailed-enough for the likes o' myself? ... and the last coin isn't really turning my head either (but they are both cool, just because of the desert patina thingy) ... ... but overall, I've been liking your selections (as long as you are happy with them, then I'd pull the trigger) ... but I am probably the last guy on the planet that would actually say: => "hey-hey-hey, wait up lil' buckeroo, there may be a better one just around the corner!!?"

Desert Patina New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 10/11/2012 9:59 pm Thanks for the thoughts Steve. That is one thing I have wondered, is am I sacrificing detail for the desert patina thing I like? So your thoughts are appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 10/12/2012 07:50 am All strike me as worthy coins depending on the prices asked but none strike me as 'must haves' so I'd bargain for them. I find interest in the Marcianopolis which appears to have a graffito E scratched in the reverse field where many issues had the denomination mark in the die. E would be 5 assaria (right for this size coin) so I suspect it was added by a banker somewhere where the coin was not normally circulated. All I really know about the system is that there were different values in different cities and some changes over time. I have a coin where the mark was dug out of the die but I don't know the exact circumstances that would make doing that or adding an E as here seem necessary. Because of that scratch, I might consider buying the coin if I came across it but it is not something I would pay a premium for. Report this Post to the Staff
