Thanks. Rather confirms that this is a photography issue.
Marvelous coins! Thanks for showing them off.
P. S. I didn't mean to imply that all of the sestertii on this site have this appearance. Maybe 25% or so, which was still more than I expected.
Thanks all for your thoughts. I should have said that I have been collecting sestertii with some intensity for almost 30 years. I have seen a few...
Great to hear, because I definitely like their coins. Thank you!
Thanks for the input. It's the uniformity that concerns me rather than the color per se, but perhaps there's no reason for concern. Maybe just...
Hi! Rather than "borrow" their pictures, I'll post a link to the results of a search for sestertii on the site. Notice how many coins have that...

Thanks to both of you!
Anyone ever seen something like this before? It's a line that parallels the jawline to the SW. I don't see any sign of damage. Reminds me somewhat...
I used to collect them with enthusiasm, but that was 25 years ago - when there were plenty to look for. I do have a nice 1986-D rpm, but nothing...
Yeah, I need to get better photo equipment. My hope was that someone was familiar with a similar specimen, but that may not exist. Thanks again!
Makes sense. What makes me unsure is that the right side seems to be doubled as well, with two separate curves, and I can't explain that. The coin...
Greetings all! I don't expect a definitive answer on the basis of my poor photograph, but I'd be interested in your opinions about the mintmark...
The 97 has several areas of doubling - I don't know why it isn't more widely accepted as a DD. What's interesting is that the Red Book mistakenly...
