TMK65 Valued Member United States 202 Posts	Posted 10/26/2015 11:31 pm Empress of Antoninus Pius. She was said to be beautiful and her marriage to Pius was reported to be a happy one. She died twenty years before Pius and he never remarried. I tried on my budget to capture a well struck and detailed silver denarius and this was the one I picked.

DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 10/27/2015 04:52 am Nice portrait with great details. Certainly better than my one... I can just imagine Marcus Aurelius saying "I'm not saying the mother-in-law's ugly, but she uses her bottom lip as a shower cap." Report this Post to the Staff

lrbguy Pillar of the Community United States 949 Posts	Posted 10/27/2015 3:29 pm Just a little trick: coins always look better when you don't get too close. Closeups show surface detail that may help with identification, but is only needed if the surface is very distressed. Otherwise, there is a comfortable viewing/shooting distance back a ways. Coin photographers like to refer to "appearance in the hand." Report this Post to the Staff
