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?

Also, how does one store these coins? out of light? In a plastis air tight circular container? I hate the square ugly ones.

Not a bad coin indeed. Only minus IMO is the bit of pitting on the reverse but that doesn't really distract much.

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.

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.

Your celator was a bit mean with the laurel leaves.

I don't have the experience to question your coins authenticity, so would be inclined to simply trust CNG and congratulate you, until someone with far greater experience said otherwise. That being said...one observation. The sprig being held up on the reverse does seem far more paltry in style and substance than others I have seen in searches and would simply ask if that is part of the normal variation for this type? (I see Pishpash has just beat me to this observation...I will leave my agreement up anyway  )
