caesar77 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 09/25/2014 8:53 pm I love this coin, looking forward to acquiring, then I will snap some photos. I am terrible at photographs, how can I make them look good? Also, any ideas on value of this coin if I were to sell it? Report this Post to the Staff
caesar77 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 09/25/2014 8:55 pm Also, how does one store these coins? out of light? In a plastis air tight circular container? I hate the square ugly ones. Report this Post to the Staff
VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 09/25/2014 9:14 pm Not a bad coin indeed. Only minus IMO is the bit of pitting on the reverse but that doesn't really distract much. Report this Post to the Staff
paul27613 Valued Member United States 152 Posts	Posted 10/06/2014 12:02 am I have to ask, do you have any concerns about authenticity. Here is why I ask. Put the picture from: http://cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=223148 http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=498736 http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=123573 (I know these are not the identical type but I do feel relevant) side by side with the one you might purchase. Stylistically the reverse bothers me. However, the obverse is where I also focused. The beaded border, the letters, should get additional scrutiny. Hopefully you would be purchasing from a known and respected dealer. Report this Post to the Staff
caesar77 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 10/06/2014 02:27 am I acquired it from CNG, and would suggest no one spend real money on a coin unless it comes from a source like CNG. I confess I am not as picky about coins I acquire from CNG as they are a premiere auction house. I could be wrong. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 10/06/2014 03:05 am The reverse style, I have to admit, bothers me as well. I searched VCOINS and CNG (sold coins) for 'lugdunum denarius'. I could not find a reverse of similar style or subject at either site. Denarii at the CNG site were arranged by Emperor, so easy to locate a desired coin, if listed. Does wildwinds have a listing? More research needed. Check edge with at least a 10x loupe, preferably more powerful; looks OK as presented so far. Report this Post to the Staff
caesar77 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 10/06/2014 03:19 am It is a RIC 162b http://www.ancientcoins.ca/RIC/RIC1...us_1-200.htm CNG sold the coin to me and I am inclined to trust their veracity. Unless others experienced issues with them? Report this Post to the Staff
