<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2459603, member: 19463&quot;]For those like me whose hobby definitely includes photography, there are coins I wish I had not bought because they were not easy/possibe to photograph well.&nbsp; Some of you go for wear, some for centering, others for smooth edges etc. etc. etc.&nbsp; I like coins that look cooperative when it comes to posing for photos.&nbsp; Like humans, some coins are hams and look good any time there is a camera in the room while others give the photographer a death look.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There were several (4?) Pax issues.&nbsp; One (below) has a P in the field.&nbsp; Who knows the meaning of it?&nbsp; It would seem obviously to be an officina letter were there other coins with S and T but there are not.&nbsp; References seem to call it a &#039;mintmark&#039; thereby dodging the question.&nbsp;&nbsp; I do not have the plain one.&nbsp; It seems that Pax was a popular reverse in the later 3rd century when peace itself was not all that easy to find.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]515252[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
