[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 7699385, member: 75937"]This one finally arrived from Germany in today's mail and I photographed it today. I don't claim to be a professional photographer -- I use my phone camera -- but I like my photograph better than that of the auction firm. It actually looks like silver and three-dimensional! [ATTACH=full]1321469[/ATTACH] C. Caecilius Metellus Caprarius, 125 BC. Roman AR denarius, 3.89 g, 18.4 mm, 1 h. Rome, 125 BC. Obv: Head of Roma, right, wearing Phrygian helmet; XVI monogram below chin, ROMA behind. Rev: Jupiter, crowned by flying Victory, in biga of elephants left, holding thunderbolt in left hand and reins in right hand; C METELLVS in exergue. Refs: Crawford RRC 269/1; Sydenham CRR 485; RCV 145; RSC Caecilia 14. Here's Sonntag's photo: [ATTACH=full]1321470[/ATTACH] Let's see your coins that look different in your own photos than in the auction/store where you bought them![/QUOTE]
