<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 5011783, member: 110226&quot;]Thank you, and thanks for the information.&nbsp; I am very sorry about the bad quality of the Faustina I as with Ceres photo.&nbsp; The camera is picking up every imperfection and creating blurry distortions.&nbsp; I need to take a clearer picture of this coin, so I need to experiment with lighting.</p><p><br /></p><p>The legend is readable with the coin in hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse legend reads DIVAFAV STINA, with the break occurring above her portrait.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse has a rough shiny surface (as does the obverse) , but enough letters are readable for the legend AVGVSTA.&nbsp; The spacing appears, from left to right, to be AVG, then the head of Ceres, followed by VSTA on the other side of her scepter.</p><p><br /></p><p>it seems that the engraver attempted to cram DIVAFAVSTINA on the left side of the obverse, but ran out of room, or the engraver just decided to put as many letters to the left of her portrait, and the remainder to the right.&nbsp; It&#039;s kind of strange, but it could be that this coin had a rather big production run, so quality control, such as existed back then, was minimal for this issue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
