[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 4320725, member: 80783"]Thank you for bringing it back and thank you all for showing more of your Crispinas! :-) David Sear had the OP coin in hand and noted no tooling or smoothing on the reverse or elsewhere, but he emphasized the attractive portrait and nice glossy patina in his certificate :-). He describes the hairstyle as [I]"elaborately waved in curls across head and fastened in a chignon behind"[/I]. Also, [I]"This attractive orichalcum sestertius features a sensitive portrait of the teenage empress combined with a seated figure of Salus, goddess of health. Although a standard reverse type, the appearance of the goddess at this time may relate to an imperial pregnancy." [/I] I really do like his detailed certificates for the interesting extra info they include that one does not get with his competitors.[/QUOTE]
