<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GarrettB, post: 25539009, member: 139253&quot;]I had a few successful bids recently at the Coin Cabinet auction in London. This is my first provincial coin, so I wanted to share it. I hadn&#039;t intended to bid on it at all, but when it seemed to stall at (what I thought was) a reasonable price, I went for it. I don&#039;t know much about the coin, though I have found a few similar coins, but nothing identical on the different websites I perused. One thing I noticed was the difference between the image of the coin at the Coin Cabinet auction and at the Roma auction two years ago, where it went for a much higher price (relatively speaking). I have added the two different pictures. I wonder if some trickery/flattery went into the photo with more iridescence. If anyone has anything similar or relevant, please share!</p><p><br /></p><p>CAPPADOCIA, CAESAREA-EUSEBIA. Julia Domna.
