[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 3403061, member: 31533"]This year I am not focusing on collecting, but intent on photographing my coins as best I can. I have a very small dark side collection, and no real goals for a specific set. Rather I am eclectic in this and will eventually maybe find my way to a particular grouping. Although I have photo'd some of my coins already and shared them, my goal is to systematically go through and re-photograph as best I can, and then update and create an album. In the end, I may re-do some if I feel I can represent them better as to what they actually look like as far as color, depth, etc. Any I post with info you thing is not quite right, let me know. I really do want to also know my coins and find out what I should be learning about them to really appreciate these. My first one for 2019 photographing on Ancients in this endeavor: [ATTACH=full]903569[/ATTACH] Philip I (Feb 244- Aug or Sep 249 AD) [SIZE=4][B]Ref Philip I AR Antoninianus, RIC 52, RSC 239, [B]SEAR 8974[/B][/B][/SIZE] Philip I AR Antoninianus (Philip the Arab). Obv: IMP M IVL PHILIPPVS AVG, radiate draped bust right Rev: VIRTVS AVG, Virtus (or Minerva) standing left, foot on helmet holding olive branch & spear. RIC 52; Cohen 239; Sear 8974. Philip succeeded Gordian III, and was in his short time sympathetic to the Christian faith.
