<p>[QUOTE="Nathan401, post: 2884332, member: 77976"]I had my eye on this for a couple weeks. I was surprised it didn't sell, and finally I could take it no longer! Lol. What first jumped out at me was the cool dark toning. Really natural and "ancient" looking. Beautiful centering, portrait, crisp legends, and a hammered reverse!! Felicitas has awesome detail and lots of depth to the folds in her robes. A special thanks to our [USER=76086]@Ken Dorney[/USER] for the sale, $60 bucks delivered to my door. I'm using ken's pics here (with permission) and the toning is even cooler in hand, with a few very small spots of rainbow shine at the right angle. Again, I love it and I feel as though i got a great coin for the money!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]691843[/ATTACH]</p><p>Phillip I 244-249 AD</p><p>Antoninianus 24mm, 3.62 grams</p><p>Rome Mint</p><p>Obv: IMP M IVL PHILIPS AVG, Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right.</p><p>Rev: P M TR P III COS PP, Felicitas standing left holding caduceus and cornucopia.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lets see some Philips with Felicitas reverses, or anything you like![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
