Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 11/29/2012 3:56 pm Well, I've heard of some 'silver' coins coming through as different colours when photographed. I like the design, its a lovely coin, but I'm not sure about its authenticity. Heres a link to the coin you have; bust of mars right, roman soldier spearing an unarmed opponent on the reverse: http://www.coinproject.com/coin_det...?coin=286256 Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 11/29/2012 7:28 pm This coin is supposed to be a silver Roman Republic denarius. Obv: P FONTEIVS PF CAPITO III VIR, Rev: MN FONT TR MIL. Helmeted and draped bust of Mars. Circa 55BC. Reference # 429/1. Unless your coin is tarnished, it doesn't look silver to me. Report this Post to the Staff
bpoc1 Rest in Peace United States 4078 Posts	Posted 11/30/2012 06:53 am Thanks guys. I'm using an old Kodak C875 Zoom Digital Camera. The reverse picture is no way near the actual color it should be more in line with the first. In the first picture I had the sun as a light source and then the batteries went out. Changed out the batteries and started messing with the setting and oops! All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth no I mean a new camera. Great history on these coins. Thanks again.
