<p>[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 2496102, member: 42773"]I sometimes photograph coins at an angle to demonstrate the surfaces, particularly if the coin has a glossy patina. In fact, I prefer that sort of photography from dealers - if the surfaces are good, I'm going to be happy with the color, no matter what it is. That being said, the dealer's pic of that coin looks too much like a graphic. I much prefer your image of course.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the COA goes, they're really unnecessary if you offer a lifetime guarantee of authenticity. Anyway, I like the coin very much. I need fully-struck reverse devices on Gallic ants unless there is something really outstanding about the bust by itself. The reverses just don't come as well-struck as they do in other Roman eras and areas. It's a good choice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
