    Thanks for pointing this out as I actually have one on the way to me. It's a Germanicus as struck under Claudius, but of the Rome mint, I believe.

    Yup, those Frank Robinson auction pics are pretty much devoid of colour, so the pleasant toning on this one came as a surprise.

    FSR auction pics:

    The CNG pics from 2003 show some hints of colour, but not much:

    They're are not especially pronounced, but light iridescence on toned silver is always gravy to me :).
