Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 02/04/2015 8:54 pm I believe this coin to be one of Faustina's but more than that I cannot add. I cannot find a 'likely' copy in Wildwinds or anywhere else which makes me doubt the Faustina connection. Can you help, please? AE15, 2.1 gm or Report this Post to the Staff

From the portrait, I cannot say anything - but there seem to be several letters of the legend which might be legible with a different picture/lighting. Report this Post to the Staff
Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 02/04/2015 9:14 pm Thanks, Med. If the letters that you are referring to are at 200 o'clock, then my eyes are too far gone to make them out. Here they are under magnification. and Report this Post to the Staff
Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 02/04/2015 9:25 pm It's not the magnification but rather the lighting which is more important. Here my attempt based on the original posted. Edited by Medieval 02/04/2015 9:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 02/04/2015 9:37 pm I have adjusted the lighting (variously) in these shots. (Hope this helps.) Report this Post to the Staff
Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 02/04/2015 9:48 pm Doesn't really help - you have to twist and turn the coin under good light and see if you can make something out with a loupe. Report this Post to the Staff
