echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 07/14/2015 2:49 pm A very nice coin I also like the reverse. However I would not consider this coin as near mint state. If It was mine I would give it a grade of VFine. While the coin has very nice details and is well centered. There is wear, a flan crack that goes through 1/4 of the coin , the surface is somewhat porous with surfaces scratches, some of the lettering in the legend is incomplete. Sorry if this sounds harsh don't mean it too. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 07/14/2015 3:26 pm Wayne Sayles has a series of six books dealing with ancient coins. He covers, Roman, Greek, Byzantine, Roman Provincial, Non Classical, Ancient coin collecting, and Ancient Fakes. These books run around $25 each and I recommend them for the new collector and a good reference to the more advance ones. In his Volume Ancient Coin Collecting, he explains how to grade ancient coins. Report this Post to the Staff
