pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 08/06/2015 5:25 pm My friend and I have an arrangement. I buy coins in my country on their behalf and they buy coins in their country for me. When we have a few coins, we post, massive saving on international postage. Call us cheap, we are! I recently received 7 coins, and considering I am not buying at the moment, they were very welcome indeed. Please excuse the photographs, I know they are awful. I am on holiday and stuck with a halogen lamp and no decent daylight. The sellers coins were dreadful and out of focus, but they were cheap at around 10GBP each. Anyhow, here they are, it will probably take a couple of weeks to get good photos and I can't wait that long to share. First up Philip I with Aequitas reverse. This coin is gorgeous in hand. Definitely looks silver and has red gold iridescence within the legend. Philip I Coin: Silver Antoninianus IMP M IVL PHILIPPVS AVG - Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right AEQVITAS AVGG - Aequitas standing left with cornucopia and scales. Mint: Rome (244-249 AD) Wt./Size/Axis: 4.29g / 22mm / - References: RIC 27b Report this Post to the Staff

I hope you'll update this thread in a couple of weeks with the better pics. I'd love to see more of that iridescence you describe. Report this Post to the Staff
