Well, i've ben waiting 3 weeks, but they have arrived.... I am a little disappointed that I cannot seem to get the photography quite right to reflect the coloration of the coins, they are darker than this, but adjusting photoshop brightness/contrast still isnt working. They are nice big Postumus sestertius, a Laetitia Galley reverse and a Victory reverse. there are 3 others, but I am not very happy with the reverses, not quite as good as the sellers pictures. The second coin has issues on the reverse as you can see, but having seen many worse coins of Postumus, I shouldnt complain. plan was, buy 5 sell 4 to enable me to keep one, but I am not sure the money recouped from them will now allow this.....damn. Laetitia 31mm 27.6grammes Victory 32mm 24.5grammes
I feel ya coin brother, I can't seem to get the color right on the photos of my first buy. They look sweet anyway!
Thanks Bing, shame is I wanted to keep one.....may have to keep the Laetitia anyway and not tell the missus!
Try raising the light angle so it does not cut so harshly across the surface and experiment with directions other than from the back of his head. Those are very high grade for Postumus ae. Mine are the normal junkers.
those are both VERY nice...great detials. i love the galley. i'm i crazy, or do i does potumus look like dougsmit when the bust has nice details like YOCs?????
