<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KDD, post: 4123795, member: 110611&quot;]Thanks for the pet pic and tribute to yours, and not making me feel all alone with my unconventional humor.</p><p><br /></p><p>The seller lists the coin as the Price 2110 variation:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://numismatics.org/pella/id/price.2110" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/pella/id/price.2110" rel="nofollow">http://numismatics.org/pella/id/price.2110</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I strongly suspect some of the blur in my photos is me taking the picture up really close and it not focusing well. At some point I&#039;ll be revisiting.</p><p><br /></p><p>One interesting distinction between this coin and all the others is that there is a significant inwards curvature to the coin. The head side is bulging out.</p><p><br /></p><p>3 other coins arrived on Friday as well. I just sorted through cheap coins that were going off and bought them, but 2 of the 3 were not good buys. But I think the 3rd made up for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought this Augustus era quadrans for $2 USD:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://images.sellersourcebook.com/users/154801/roman_augustus_quadrans_a.jpg?1579810531" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://images.sellersourcebook.com/users/154801/roman_augustus_quadrans_b.jpg?1579810531" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Just because it was &#039;cheap&#039; and I wanted to push back the date of my earliest coin (the other being a Claudius). I might try and clean this at some stage. The seller didn&#039;t list the size, but it is significantly smaller than the Claudius quadrans.</p><p><br /></p><p>My other blunder was this for $3 USD (single faced coin):</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://images.sellersourcebook.com/users/154801/austria_1720fa_kreuzer_km-1567_a.jpg?1579812129" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I just liked the 1720 showing on the coins face. But the seller brightened the picture or his camera did because that dirt in the middle is significantly black and makes detail hard to see. It is also a very tiny coin plus it has no historical significance that I know of. I guess I should check to see if anything was happening in 1720 in Austria.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, this final item more than made up for it IMO (a 1799 France First Republic coin, I won it for $4.25 USD):</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://images.sellersourcebook.com/users/154801/france_5_centimes_lan-8-7_km-640_a.jpg?1579810180" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://images.sellersourcebook.com/users/154801/france_5_centimes_lan-8-7_km-640_b.jpg?1579810180" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I was expecting a coin with significant wear, but to my eyes it doesn&#039;t resemble that at all? Maybe the seller has brightened the picture again and it is somehow showing much more wear than my eyes can make out, but I&#039;m just not seeing it? It looks like a good coin? I don&#039;t see any wear to any of the print. I don&#039;t see any chips to the detail anywhere. I&#039;ll have to take a picture of just how good this coin really looks, because that picture is not representative at all. I am struggling to imagine how it can even be the same coin (in a good way)?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
