[QUOTE="Whizb4ng, post: 1812917, member: 54140"]Well my second coin arrived today in my 'binge'. Mods let me know if we need to censor this puppy because it is a beauty ;) and well because Hercules is naked but mainly because it is so awesome. I can't quite getting the toning to come out using the camera on my tablet. And the coin is a bit darker than it is in hand. I think this coin has the most 'eye appeal' of all the coins I have so far just from the nice blue that circles around some of the letters and around his radiate crown. Lets just say I am very, VERY, happy with this purchase. Also holy smokes Pecunem ships fast. I think this was the quickest I have ever gotten a coin from oversears. The auction ended Sunday and I received the coin Thursday at 9:00 a.m. POSTUMUS (260-269). Antoninianus. Cologne. Obv: IMP C POSTVMVS P F AVG. Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right. Rev: HERC DEVSONIENSI. Hercules standing facing, holding club, bow and lion's skin. RIC 64. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/qXZCcJIl.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/hLEmGL7l.jpg[/IMG] Here is the Pecunem picture for comparison [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/yq7V56zl.jpg[/IMG] If you have any toned coins I would love to see them.[/QUOTE]
