a fine addition Noah, and worthy of your fine collection. the toning is not only beautiful but functional as well, as it highlights the features so wonderfully.
congrats!

Well, I was just informed by a highly respected authority that this is a modern fake! I am sad, yet relieved that this has occurred. This is why Forvm is an invaluable resource to amateur collectors...

Bummer!

That is a bummer! I would never had guessed that it was fake, but like you say at least know now!

Thanks guys, although I have now added this very nice AUTHENTIC Marcus Aurelius Sestertius to heal the wound!

I just added this pleasant Decentius today. I will probably halt my purchases for awhile now... $:-\$

The newest addition to my collection is this nice Commemorative issue of Constantinople. I like the effect of the patina that makes her look as if she is staring at us out of the corner of her eye!!

I always like the Santa Claus looking portraits of these gallic emperors. Nice one.

Ha! I can honestly say I never thought Santa, but I do see it now. Thanks for the feedback; I had a nice Tetricus but sold it because I was not happy with the portrait. I looked and looked for some time and found this one which I feel has a pretty nice portrait compared to most of his.

it is a bit jolly

Nice addition!

Although Tetricus coins are outrageously common (sometimes ad nauseam), nice portraits of his are tought to find. This one is excellent

Thanks to you all! In-hand, the portrait is even better. I couldn't get a good photo. The higher points are reddish while the lower areas are a little darker than the photo, thus giving off a higher contrast than shown.

Agreed, and tougher still to find is a Tetricus with BOTH sides of the same coin in great condition.

Nice pick up!

Strong portrait of his. A pity the reverse isn't the same. The overall impression is very good though. Good catch

Randygeki(h2) · « **Reply #121 on:** March 27, 2011, 01:52:13 pm »

Very nice portrait!

Noah · « **Reply #122 on:** March 28, 2011, 12:04:48 am »

Thanks JC and Randygeki(h2)! I tend to lean toward portraits, so I compromised on the reverse since I really liked the portrait.

Since my coin buying has slowed down of late, I have taken the time to photograph and upload my widely varied artifact collection. It ranges from ancient to 20th century items. Take a look around at them and my other coin folders.

I really like that Glass Amulet. I like the variety of what you have posted so far.
