[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 3548013, member: 85693"]Thank you RC for taking so much time & effort into my cruddy little as. I am really having trouble getting a good photo of the reverse - my photography skills combined with the poor condition of the coin is a bad mix. Here are a couple more attempts - including one blurry one which for some reason shows the scepter (?) in her left hand clearly. My best guess: Left Hand: holding long scepter or torch. The top is obscured, so I cannot tell if it widens out into a torch. Squiggly fold of dress runs parallel to this. Right Hand: impossible to tell? I really think it is obliterated by wear/pitting, but it is an extended arm, bent at elbow. There is some reverse legend visible - first "A" and the "T" - it seems long enough for AETERNITAS, but maybe it is AVGVSTA. Again, thanks for taking the trouble with this dog biscuit. Feel free to give up on it! [ATTACH=full]942895[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]942896[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]942897[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]942898[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
