I assembled a modest set of ancients while in college during the mid 1970's. After seeing the fine photography results at NGC I sent my coins to NGC to be slabbed and photographed.
The photos arrived today and I am very satisfied with their work.

Don't they look great? Doug Plascensia and company do great work.
I like those Trajan sestertii.
I note you've got a favorite type of mine in that posthumous Vespasian with the conjoined capricorns.
I had mine slabbed before I knew about Photovision.
lordmarcovon, I surely like your example of the Vespasian denarius - very well struck.
Trajan certainly told you a great deal on his bronze coins - apart from citing various titles he is taking credit for victories in Germania and Dacia.
It will be interesting to see how these coins grade.
