The last 2 I just posted over the weekend, but figured what the heck!

 

Here's my Judaean Antiochus VII prutah with sort of a honey mustard appearance.

 

I especially like that top one Cucumbor is that Severus coin Jupiter and small emperor? also the Probus galley light blue-green is a beauty.

 

I believe blue and read are the hard ones. I don't have a good one of either.

 

Mike Zee said "CHOCOLATE"
Constantine commemorative
Trier 332/3AD
Victory

Worth showing again especially the Faustina SES.

 

They don't come more glossy green than that, great coin ancientone.

 

Here's the "chocalate" I meant to add to the other post. My fingers got push happy I think.
VRBS ROMA
Trier mint

I have a Herachlea mint inbound, hoping it's as nice as this one.
