<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 4365593, member: 97383&quot;]Yesterday the coin I won from <b>CNG 465, lot 534</b> arrived <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. My first impression after opening the envelope was, did they send the right coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />? After looking at it closely I realized it was the coin I won, however, it was much darker than the photo I saw on their website. The coin in hand looks much better with the darker more uniform patina than the website photo, see the photos below. I did some photo enhancement on the lower coin to simulate what it actually looks like. Has this ever happened to other <b>CT</b> members? </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1103286[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Constantine I as Augustus, AD 307-337 (struck 307-308), Trier Mint, 1st Officina, AE follis: 6.65 gm, 26 mm, 6 h.
