<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iamtiberius, post: 2484736, member: 37707&quot;]I&#039;ve had this lot of Republic Denarii for a while. I tried on several occasions to take decent photos that appropriately reflect the toning without getting washed out by the very reflective surfaces. Tonight, whilst taking pictures of a few new silver Greeks, I gave it a second shot. I&#039;m pleased with the results. </p><p><br /></p><p>In chronological order:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]524871[/ATTACH]</p><p><font face="Arial"><b>Lucius Appuleius Saturninus.</b>104 BC. AR Denarius.
