To me it looks like an FH3 reaching but with that much wear, exact ID is unlikely. If we do not care enough when photographing a coin to take it...
Agrippa would have been the second Roman Emperor had Augustus not lived longer. He owed everything to supporting the right horse in that race....
Ref: http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Anonymous%20Follis I do not understand the need to subdivide the class A folles...
This has many more good point than bad. I suspect it was cleaned manually to remove corrosion at obverse bottom and polished. The centering is...
The question of value of a coin like this has little meaning. Relatively few collectors of RR denarii have any interest in coins this low grade....

Very well struck E<.

I don't have as many London mint coins as I might since there are collectors in the UK that run the price up on them. Many are well made. I'll...
Workmanship varies a lot on Gallienus. The Asian late period coins with the palm in exergue tend to be well struck on good flans with smooth...
I have used the cloud globe type of rig but it requires the same care to avoid glares and bad direction with other forms. My camera rig resides...
Also on camera brands: I use Canons because I know the line and the way they do things makes sense to me. I know other photographers better than...
