<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Restitutor, post: 5140470, member: 112621&quot;]Happy Friday everyone! This week was a fortuitous one, as my Leu win arrived in the post. I had quite a fun time trying to open it, so make sure to check out the video at the end <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It’s a weird feeling to have so early on in my numismatic collecting, but I feel like I may have just peaked with this coin. It is, to me at least, perfect in every way, and I wonder if I will ever find another coin I fancy as much as this one.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Diva Faustina Senior, died 140/1.</b>Denarius (Silver, 18 mm, 3.71 g, 6 h), Rome. DIVA FAVSTINA Diademed and draped bust of Diva Faustina to right. <i>Rev.</i>AVGVSTA Wreath on draped throne against which rests transverse scepter. BMC 454. Cohen 131. RIC 377. Beautifully toned. Virtually as struck.</p><p><br /></p><p>[MEDIA=vimeo]481686373[/MEDIA]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1206061[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1206060[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>First coin I photographed and video recorded with the new iPhone 12 Pro Max, no editing! Really happy with how the images turned out.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Bonus Video</b></p><p>I always video record when I open a coin in case of damage. This time though, I decided to share as it was quite an odyssey. The gods really must have wanted me to work to get this coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[MEDIA=vimeo]481688205[/MEDIA]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Please post anything you want! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
