<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 4998080, member: 83845&quot;]Fantastic coins Al.&nbsp; I always enjoy looking at selections from your collection.&nbsp; Your coins always have great style (especially the portraits!) and the large diameter tetradrachms you seem to favor really allow a nice canvas for the die cutter to show his skill.&nbsp; Thanks for sharing and for the nice words!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>These are all great Ryan!&nbsp; You were really good at choosing circulated coins with just the right amount of detail to have some nice eye appeal.&nbsp; Your Nerva especially is nice because you get a very strong portrait outline that accentuates his unique profile (*cough* big nose *cough*).</p><p><br /></p><p>Your Marcus Aurelius bronze is also great, and great style too.&nbsp; On coins of Marcus and Lucius it seems (to me) you can judge the style by the detail in the bottom tip of the beard.&nbsp; Some of the engravers spent a lot of time detailing the individual locks of beard and that usually transfers into attention to detail in other parts of the portrait.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>These are all great Bing.&nbsp; I especially like that Dacia Capta reveres on your Trajan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
