    Yeah, the image size restriction does make it difficult. They "fixed" the issue allowing the image to take up the whole frame... but the question is then superimposed on the image. Fail!

    I'll keep your offer in mind but it is probably simpler to just life pictures from CoinTalk.

    Very cool OP-winner, Sallent (congrats)

    Sep-Sev, eh? .... gawd, I'm surprised that anybody can find any examples considering Martin's & Mentor's extensive collections!!

    ;)

    Ummm, I'm pretty sure that I only have two Sep-Sev examples ...

    => a humble AR & AE

    Got a little package from Civitas Gallery, my favorite vcoin dealer, today.

    I've got to say this has become my second most favorite Imperial denarius, despite only having it in hand for a few hours.

    The obverse is divine. The pictures don't do it justice. It has so much depth, and the reverse is really nice too in hand (excuse the out of focus cellphone pictures, you'll have to take my word for it).

    Very nice example of the type.

    My example (below) has changed hands a few times in recent years.

    ex Roger Bickford-Smith Collection, ex Barry Murphy, ex Forvm Ancient Coins

    I also have a base metal example of the type.
