Here they are. I picked these up at a coin show yesterday. The Augustus completes my 12 Caesars in silver and replaces a copper As. The Diadumenian is outside of my collecting focus, but when I saw the condition, I had to have it. Augustus. 27 BC-AD 14. AR Quinarius, Brundisium or Roma 29-27 BC, AR 1.63 g. Obv: CAESAR IMP VII, Bare head Rev: ASIA RECEPTA Victory standing l. on cista mistica, holding wreath and palm branch; on either side, snake. BMC 647. RIC 276.

Fantastic coins, particularly the Augustus. I really love the reverse of that one.

Congrats on completing your 12 Caesars set. They are both excellent coins. I particularly like the Augustus though.

Both look quite nice!
I was a little concerned about the appearance of Diadumenianus judging by the photo, but you purchased it from a established seller so that is reassuring.
