The toning is darker than the picture suggests. You have to lighten the scan or details don't show well. This is a pretty little coin and its only flaw is the slight flatness of some of the letters of Sicinus on the reverse. The symbols are particularly sharp on the reverse with a really nice caduceus. Your comments indicate you have a keen eye and good tastes. Thanks for the feedback. -c
