[QUOTE="E Pluribus Unum, post: 3022829, member: 74265"]Bing, that's the one. I was joking about the mint mark - I didn't realize the origins of the mint mark date back to the ancient days. Maybe it's because the early US coins did not bear mint marks. Gavin, thanks for the links. I catalog my US coins to a certain extent, but, for ancient coin collecting, I see that a detailed catalog with photos is almost a necessity to keep track of a collection. I need to invest in a camera - my iphone doesn't cut it. The actual color of my Diocletian is dark brown. I must have spent an hour photographing the Diocletian and that's the best I could do. There are some threads on photography here for me to review. In any case, it would be interesting to look in the past to see the facilities the ancients used to mint their coins. I underestimated their capabilities. I wouldn't want to be that guy.[/QUOTE]
