<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1651781, member: 42773&quot;]This is rather a bad picture gamble, but I just sniped this coin for a song. Although it only grades F, it doesn&#039;t seem to have any problems other than wear, perhaps a bit of roughness on the obverse but it&#039;s hard to tell from the images.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I liked about it is that the legends are fully readable and it seems to have acquired a lovely hard patina. It was up for a few days so I had plenty of time to research the coin. I found many examples in higher grades with much worse issues - all sorts of nasty corrosion and cracks, etc. And the coins I found at the price I paid for this one ($35) were generally downright abominable. </p><p><br /></p><p>So without further ado, here it is. Seller&#039;s pics - I&#039;ll post new ones as soon as I get it...</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://postimage.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://postimage.org/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://s1.postimage.org/lv7cu3djj/philipo.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://postimage.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://postimage.org/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://s23.postimage.org/6m7jpdqtn/philipr.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>Rome 246-249</p><p><br /></p><p>16 grams 29 mms</p><p><br /></p><p>Obv.
