<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 7924866, member: 56859&quot;]I guess there are various reasons why an auction house&#039;s photos might not accurately reflect the color.</p><p><br /></p><p>Heritage&#039;s catalogs tend to show bronzes as a brown/tan shade when in real life they look green.&nbsp; Here&#039;s an example taken while lot viewing their 2016 auction in Chicago.&nbsp; So you can&#039;t blame ambient lighting or my phone&#039;s default camera settings, I had the catalog open to this lot for comparison.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/ha-greenbrown-jpg.495471/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, Mr. Furry... I have an obverse die match to your coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; I think it&#039;s interesting to find single-side die matches where the other side is a completely different style.&nbsp; Pretty sure I recall someone else on CT having an obverse die match to this coin with a different reverse but I can&#039;t recall which reverse.&nbsp; If it is yet a third reverse... that would really be something!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/elagabalusrivergodmed-jpg.296804/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>MOESIA INFERIOR.
