<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Billy Kingsley, post: 711023, member: 19456&quot;]I purchased this at CoinFest this past weekend....It is the most I&#039;ve ever spent for a single coin ($50) and it is my first ancient silver...my 4th Roman coin overall...It&#039;s darker in real life, the camera flash made it brighter....the reverse color is closer but not accurate...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>on another note, it seems I&#039;ve finally figured out how to take pictures of coins! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One oddity here...the portrait looks a lot like my uncle...that is the first thing my mom said when I showed it to her after we got home...Wouldn&#039;t that be something, my family IS Italian! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://images41.fotki.com/v305/photos/3/348354/6136805/015Copy-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://images50.fotki.com/v399/photos/3/348354/6136805/100_5597-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The reverse picture was taken in the early morning sunlight, where the obverse was taken in my room at night with the camera flash only, both had the other stuff cropped out to just be the coin...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It is about my favorite purchase of the show, and might be my favorite in my entire collection...So hard to choose...but it darn well better be considering it doubled the most I&#039;ve ever spent for a coin in my collection! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
