<p>[QUOTE="zumbly, post: 2693894, member: 57495"]In a post I just made in another thread, I mentioned an old coin in my collection which I hadn't photographed yet. It's definitely been a recurring theme in the last year or two that my coin buying has outpaced my ability to photograph them. Since slowing down on purchases (somewhat) this year, I've been trying to catch up with the photography side of things. It's really not my strong suit, but having made some headway in the past week, I thought I'd share some of these coins that I've never shown before here. The earliest is a May 2015 acquisition, and the most recent (the last two below) just arrived today. </p><p><br /></p><p>Enjoy and please feel free to comment or share anything that you'd like to <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]604888[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>CARUS</b></p><p>AE Antoninianus. 3.98g, 21.4mm.
