<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1688090, member: 19463"]Today I went to a coin show that I never would attend except it was 5 miles from my home and I was bored. There was one dealer with ancients (he had everything from US to tokens to foreign tokens and just plain junk). I bought two coins although I knew I would be disappointed. All his ancients were in those stapled cardboard 2x2's so you really had to guess what was inside. Neither coin looks as good out of the shiny celophane but both look better than my first photo attempt. </p><p><br /></p><p>Best is my first added Parthian Bronze in years. It is Orodes I AE 15 with horse reverse. These are usually junky so this is not all that bad.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other is a slight upgrade of my Julian II bull from Arles and has a patina with shine that is going to require reshooting until I get it right.
