<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kirispupis, post: 7755783, member: 118780&quot;]Thought I&#039;d share my latest acquisition, taken with a brand new lens.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m super excited about the coin, though I do understand that attributions change. My goal was to collect something from Antigonos I Monophthalmos, and it seemed logical to pick something up from when he had proclaimed himself king from 305-301 BCE. When I learned that he built his own capital called Antigoneia, and that Antigoneia minted coins, I zero&#039;d in on that. Luckily, I located this one at a good price. While not unique, the type seems to be very rare. There are no examples of Price 3195 on Pella or on the British Museum&#039;s site (which confuses me, since how would Price have otherwise cataloged it?) I did find one other copy on acsearch, so there&#039;s at least two (but probably more) out there.</p><p><br /></p><p>The lens is the brand new Canon RF 100 macro. I just received it today, and the very first time I used it was for this coin. So far, compared to the previous 100L macro, I have to say the image stabilization is amazing. I didn&#039;t really buy the lens for coins, but it makes the job super easy.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1328722[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
