Antoninus Pius Posthumous Issue - Hadrian FEL PR

I didn't want to start a new thread for new pics, so I figured I'd add them to this one, since I seem to have been doing that lately..... Here are the new pics, taken by me(who it seems has finally gotten the lighting setup in working order), of an Antoninus Pius and Hadrian Denarius.

Sooo much better than the seller pics... I was quite pleasantly surprised when I got these two in the mail, since they both looked so much nicer than in the seller pics, and it is usually the opposite, where the seller pics make the coin look nicer than it is, so that was nice.
Also, I asked this in a different thread, but doesnt anyone know what the 'PR' in exergue in the 'FEL PR' that is in exergue on the reverse of the Hadrian denarius stands for..... ? Felicitas Publica R...... I don't know.... just guessing here.... anyone?

Hadrian Denarius - FEL PR

two more overly lit shots of the Hadrian Denarius.......


I know the title of this thread of mine has nothing to do with these types of coins, but I figured it was as good a place as any to post the new photos I took, instead of starting an unnecessary new thread.

 

Very nice coin, your pics were better for sure!
