Very nice. Any Imperial issues of Diadumenian are rare. I have only this little Provincial of Deultum, with Telesphoros...

 

Thanks all, great coins coins

 

Very nice and scarce coin, Ro. You must have quite a collection!
Congrats!

 

A beter picture thanks al

 

That's much better. You can use too much light and the coin looks washed-out.

 

Thanks

 

I have heart my coin is tooled, how bad is the tooling

 

I think it looks fine.

 

Thanks

 

I believe I see some minor smoothing but no obvious tooling. Like Pish and the others, It looks fine to me as well---far better than my modest small coin:

 

Good to hear

 

I don't see any tooling, and I don't think a tooler would bother with it. Tooling is typically seen on coins where a VF grade gets turned into EF. I like your coin very much, but it only grades F in my opinion - tooling would look too obvious on it.

 

on the picture he has no feet, i am happy he has feet

 

@ro1974 Who told you that your coin had tooling?

 

coincommunity.com

 

it ai 3-o not tooling vs tooling

 

I am going to say that the coin is okay and just has minor smoothing.
Either way it is a nice coin that most people here would love to have in there collections.
Cherish it.

 

Thanks mates
