Not to be a 'kill joy' but the ticket says year 11 of Tiberius (AD 25).
Of course this is no problem for me .......
But for you it might be !

I change the post... I meant between 1 and 33 AD not 13. thanks for pointing that out.

Well that 'splains it !
I was somewhat puzzled by the narrow range you had indicated.
But the correction makes your motive rather clear.
For the type it seems to be a nicer one. Dare I say a VF !
Clear letters and a nice patina.

that's a very nice first ancient, congrats to you.
i remember when I thought to myself "maybe i'll just go ahead and buy one ancient coin". I'm not even sure how many I have now!

Nice, any chance of a picture showing the whole of the reverse?

pishpash.. I will attempt to provide better pictures. I used my digital USB microscope to take those pics.
I am still looking for an inexpensive camera that will do macro shots.

Stamp, what sort of phone do you have? I stumbled across this link yesterday (see first picture) https://goccf.com/t/160092This is the same phone I have and the results are remarkable. I just hold the phone over an upturned tub to keep it steady and have a halogen desk light shining on the coin. Once the picture is taken, I use the phone picture editor to crop the image, email it to myself and then finish editing on the pc. |

I have a android phone.. it's not a bad picture taker, I just can't seem to get it to focus correctly, especially in macro mode.
I also have a digital camera (I snuck it from my wife), it was bought years ago for long distance shots... it's got a 40x zoom. but it is terrible in macro mode.
I may be getting a nice replacement real soon.

here are some full coin close up shots... Thanks to my new (new to me) cannon power shot camera, I just got in the mail from DVCollector. Still learning the camera but here are some shots.   |
