Opinions on Titus sestertius
« on: December 08, 2012, 01:07:20 pm »
Opinions on this Sestertius of Titus? It's 35mm and 23,5 gr.

Please take a look also to the coin edges, that seems a bit odds to me:

I don't know about the coin, but that's really cool how you can rotate the photo to see the edge.

It looks quite convincing on the pictures. The squeezed edge may come from mounting.

Indeed the 3D rotation tool is quite impressive!

The photo format was what impressed me!

BTW, I agree with Lars - the coin looks OK.

Care to share which software you used to do that?  That's cool!

I see only a JPEG image, which to my limited knowledge, cannot "turn." What am i missing? Or are you just pulling the OP's leg?

It's a polish company that sells software and hardware to rotate objects and produce 3D animation:

Btw, what do you think about the edges of the coin? Anyone seeing traces of casting in the edge?

I agree with Lars, the coin looks authentic but the edges have been manipulated in some way so it could be fitted into a mount.
