VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 10/16/2014 2:30 pm From when I was still a noob at photographing coins. The reverse except on the high points is mostly silvered. Report this Post to the Staff

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 12/10/2014 6:37 pm Do the two scratches on the reverse stop this from being EF? http://www.tantaluscoins.com/coins/108694.php Edited by pishpash 12/10/2014 6:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 12/10/2014 9:35 pm Even with the scratches I would grade it at AU. Beautiful coin, congrats. Report this Post to the Staff
Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 12/10/2014 9:50 pm Wow. I would give a conservative EF. Gorgeous piece. Report this Post to the Staff

Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 12/11/2014 05:36 am Quote: what is an AU? In general 'about uncirculated', matching the 'nearly as struck' which is more commonly used for ancients. It's similar to me using 'verdigris' when most ancient collectors here use 'bronze disease'. As per grading, definitely EF (or XF if you prefer) or better. Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 12/11/2014 05:45 am Thanks, just found it, I had to look at several sites, they don't all use AU. I was just curious about this coin, normally I don't really care for grading, it is too subjective. Report this Post to the Staff
GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1852 Posts	Posted 12/12/2014 04:21 am Here is one of my favorite roman coins. Struck to commemorate the recovery of 2 of 3 legionary eagles lost by Varus in the battle of the Teutoburger Forest. It has a nice enough obverse, but a rather weak and worn reverse. How would one grade this coin? Report this Post to the Staff

Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 12/16/2014 9:16 pm What about this one? Struck 552 AD. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 12/16/2014 10:14 pm I would say Vfine, though it's difficult to grade this type. Report this Post to the Staff
