<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 2284872, member: 75525&quot;]I am preparing my cast AES collection for a coin show display. I do not like the picture quality on the red cloth. Probably not enough light. The features are not the best on many of the items, so poor picture quality and soft features make it hard to see what is there. I&#039;ll post them now and try to get better pics later.</p><p>The small coins at the top of the picture are the few Greek coins I have that predate the start of Roman coinage. The AES rude and some of the bars with no features may be older.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]457311[/ATTACH]</p><p>Aes Rude through cast bars and parts of bars. My wife asked how I know they are not just rocks. I said, &quot;faith in the supplier, looks and weight/SpGr.... and in the end no way to know for sure.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]457312[/ATTACH] </p><p>From left to right, oldest to newest, and from top to bottom As, Semis, Triens, Quadrans, Sextans, Uncia and semi-uncia. I have a set of Crawford 35&#039;s, 225 to 217 BC. You can see the weight reduction due to a shortage of bronze in the second Punic war in the As and Semis on the top right.</p><p>We have talked a bit about cast items. Post yours if you have not already.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
