ambr0zie Posted October 21, 2022 · Member Share Posted October 21, 2022 @LONGINUS, I greatly admire your patience and elegance in creating these presentations for your coins (let alone the fact that you always choose beautiful coins). I am tempted to start similar presentations for my coins as I know how to work in Photoshop ... but I am lazy and in the last months/years my patience is not my strong point. Just a heads up - clearly a typo but it's a pity if you don't correct. Empresses are one of my favorites area and collecting. To be honest, before collecting I had no idea coins with empresses portraits exist. When I participated in my first auction and got these ... well, for me it was clear these will not be my only coins with ladies. The Domna denarius is very importat for me as because of it I wrote my first post on CoinTalk. Now I have 44 coins with portraits of a lady on the obverse (if my Excel filtering is correct). 38 are imperials and 6 are provincials. Some of my favorites: Although my Salonina has no silvering remaining, for me it's a very, very attractive coin because of the toning and the animal reverse. 13 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
