Finally persuaded myself to buy my first coin for 2006. I managed to pick up a Trajan (98-117 CE) Denarius yesterday, featuring Mars on the reverse.


Pictures will follow eventually when the scanner is reattached to the computer.

Congratulations. That was quite a "cold spell". Can't wait to see the pics.

Long story cut short. Old scanner bust, new scanner acquired yesterday. Not as good as my old on but finally the pics as promised. As you can see i haven't figured the settings out yet!

So far this year i've made two coin purchases, this one back in March;



(and i'm not happy with that scan).

The other i purchased three weeks ago is a fake £1 coin, which i might try and picture later.

Nice coin. Keep practicing with the scanner you'll figure it out.
