EFLargeCents Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 12/13/2015 09:30 am Here is a nice upgrade, or rather, an additional example with different style bust, from the London mint. This one is of much higher quality than my other piece. Both for comparison, new one first. A slightly less common ruler from the London mint. Report this Post to the Staff

EFLargeCents Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 12/13/2015 11:19 am Thanks for the kind comments Bob! I took a "course" in the photography forum here and have honed my skills since. I use a Nikon D3300 with an 85mm macro lense. A copy stand and two cheap LED desklamps and I edit using the free program GIMP. The results are pretty great imo! Echizento, I'll probably crack it out at some point, I really want to get a nice coin cabinet first, so I'll probably wait til that happens. I currently house my raw ancients in 2x2 archival flips in an album. Not my favorite but it works for now. Edited by EFLargeCents 12/13/2015 11:20 am Report this Post to the Staff
GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1852 Posts	Posted 12/14/2015 2:58 pm Very nice coins, and from an interesting mint. I have yet to add any London mint coins to my ancient collection. Let me commend you as well on the quality of your pictures - I really must take steps to I prove my own photos. Just lack the patience I guess. Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3444 Posts	Posted 12/15/2015 12:51 am London is always good ! Now that you have two why not just leave the old boy inside his acrylic tomb. You have one to "play" with and one just for show ! Not a bad option ? I too like finding emperors issuing from the opposite ends of the empire. A Diocletion from London or a Maximianus from Antioch. I once fell asleep at the 'switch' and missed out on a nice Maximinus II Carthage follis ! It sold for around $30. Oh the humanity ! Nice coin Report this Post to the Staff
