[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3403163, member: 19463"]On my computer display, your Philip is a bit lighter than I prefer. This could be a matter of calibration or preference. I have mentioned ten thousand times (possibly a slight exaggeration but 'many') my aversion to lighting the back of the head on portraits leaving the face in a shadow. Again, that is a preference I have. I prefer a light angle more like the one used by Roman Collector above or on my sampling of Philips below. Antioch [ATTACH=full]903625[/ATTACH] another Eastern but later period coin with darker tone [ATTACH=full]903626[/ATTACH] Like yours, this is Virtus but this is the issue with officina letter (A=1) in the reverse field. [ATTACH=full]903627[/ATTACH] From that same issue officina E=5 used the Virtus legend with the two emperors on horseback. [ATTACH=full]903628[/ATTACH] Finally, I felt lucky to pull this scarce VICTORIA CARPICA out of a pick out bag of common antoniniani. In general, I assign extra 'points' to any reverse type that names a specific enemy. [ATTACH=full]903629[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
