<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zadie, post: 4977648, member: 114699&quot;]Exactly what I was thinking. I feel extremely lucky to get it for $250. I wasn&#039;t really looking for the coin of Probus but it really just stuck out when I was bidding, really pleased with it as well.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you so much! I was a bit worried that the footage wouldn&#039;t be adequate. My setup is far from optimal but I work with what I have. I&#039;m already working on a few ideas and have a few coins currently making their way to me <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m really glad you liked it! I&#039;m hoping to delve a bit deeper on the indivudal coins next time and provide a little context to the pieces I buy. </p><p><br /></p><p>The portraits of Nero, especially on his sestertii are so pleasing to the eye. I love the fact that he&#039;s not shown in the shape of a soldier-king or otherwise. Maybe I&#039;m being naive but I feel like I can see an emperor of Rome in extrodinary detail for what he really was (A chubby little maniac). </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Many thanks! My latin is very off but I try! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie76" alt=":playful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Hahah, I was hoping I could squeak by without anyone noticing. I&#039;m Swedish hehe.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Wow, thanks for the info. Stupid mistake made by me when editing <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie46" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Evidently I&#039;m a bit ignorant in crisis-era coins. Are people intentionally trying to remove traces of silvering? Looking at a couple coins now I do have to agree that they look a bit better without IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
