<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nyatii, post: 2702433, member: 85686&quot;]Well, here is the last of my novice coin picks, made during the heady days after first discovering the world of Ancient coins. I’m enjoying them immensely.</p><p><br /></p><p>I apologize for the purple tinted pictures again, and will continue to work on it. Also, the write up under the coin is copied from info with coin. I&#039;m still learning what the proper protocol is.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do have a question. What are your thoughts on the pits on the face, back of coin, and the lump on the rim? There are tiny pits here and there on both sides, and almost a frosted look because of the multitude of super fine pits. To me it looks like the coin was cast as opposed to struck. But then again, I’m not used to looking at that many Ancient coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought it on VCoins.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]608519[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]608520[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Gordian III Silver Antoninianus&nbsp; 240 AD, Rome</b></p><p>IMPGORDIANVSPIVSFELAVG – Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right.</p><p>R. / PMTRPIIIICOSIIPP – Gordian III standing right, holding spear and globe.</p><p>23mm&nbsp; 4.5 g.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]608532[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]608533[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]608534[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse</p><p>[ATTACH=full]608535[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]608536[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]608537[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
