[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 7982539, member: 110350"]There seems to be a consensus, without dissent. I will leave the coin alone! I took my own photo of the obverse today, by a window, and cropped it less than I usually do to try to give a better idea of what the coin looks like in hand. [ATTACH=full]1385246[/ATTACH] This is what it looks like after removing the background, using the link that [USER=91461]@Ryro[/USER] gave the other day.[ATTACH=full]1385248[/ATTACH] In either case, I think the spots really aren't very noticeable, and they're even less so when I hold the actual 19 mm. object in my hand. All that aside, I love the coin. It does remind me of a non-debased denarius (Republican or early Imperial), except that it's thinner, weighing about a gram less than most of my denarii.[/QUOTE]
