<p>[QUOTE="TJC, post: 2613479, member: 45502"]I am am a big sucker for radiate metal flow lines. These flow lines appear more readily on worn dies. This is because metal tends to flow across the die along the same radiate lines over and over creating the radiate wear (flow lines). The more worn the die, the stronger the radiate lines. The tradeoff is that that detail of the coin can be lost. You can see the loss of detail on the Rx of this Lucius Verus. I still find the reverse yto be attractive despite the wear. It is obverse that most shows off the radiate flow lines and decent portrait of Lucius.</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="5">Show off your radiate metal flow lines here</font></p><p><br /></p><p>Lucius Verus Denarius. </p><p>O: IMP L AVREL VERVS AVG, bare head right </p><p>Rx: PROV DEOR TR P COS II, Providentia standing, head left, holding globe and cornucopia.</p><p>RIC 463[ATTACH=full]572184[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]572185[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
