A while back, I
had the opportunity to photograph a very interesting
collection of
Roman Republican coins, and uploaded the images here on my Flickr site (some samples below this post).
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ahala_rome/albums/72157667569085515Many unusual and
rare pieces, many not in
Crawford. I thought I'd therefore share with
Forum members my own photos of the
collection which can be contrasted with their sale listings. Whilst my photography is much less consistent than that produced by the Danner setup, I like to think that I’ve captured the colour and spirit of the coins, in a generally better manner. In particular, minty coins look more minty – rather than grey – and
toned coins look more colourful – rather than grey. You should always of course pay attention to the condition modifiers in lot descriptions, which usually correctly reflect how a coin looks.
Anyway enjoy the photos - and especially of the super-rarities such as the double-obverse
Furia Brocchus, and the Pan-Silenus
Titia quadrans.
