[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7682337, member: 115909"]First of all please allow me to apologize for the bad photos and the holders. Unfortunately there weren’t any good photos taken of these coins. I picked up the Commodus because I think he’s one of the most interesting Emperors of them all even though he wasn’t a good one. I picked up the Septimius Severus denarius because, frankly, it was at a good price and if I plan on getting a denarius from every Emperor I’ll need his eventually lol. I really don’t like the reverse because there’s dirt stains on it but oh well. I keep them obverse side up in my display case so no one will see the dirt stains xD. I wish NGC hadn’t given it an AU grade though. It definitely doesn’t look like an AU coin with the dirt stains so I might send it in just to get some of my money back since they do guarantee the grade even though they don’t guarantee anything else and I don’t think if they re-graded this coin that it would ever get AU again. Is it okay to dip ancient coins to clean some of that dirt off? Thanks for checking out my newest pickups!
