<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 7948413, member: 110350&quot;]When I posted my new Claudius I - Messalina Alexandrian tetradrachm in the OP, I mentioned that I needed to take my own photo, because the dealer&#039;s photo didn&#039;t give a great idea of what the coin actually looks like. I finally got around to taking photos, and I think it&#039;s easy to see how big a difference there is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dealer&#039;s photo:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/claudius-and-messalina-alexandria-jpg-jpg.1371078/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>My photo, which I believe gives a much better idea of the coin in hand:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1376772[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin is actually brown, not gray. I think the dealer must have done something that effectively removed all the color from the photo, perhaps in an attempt to make it look silver? In fact, I think the real color is considerably more appealing. But maybe that&#039;s just me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
