I traded Mat one of my RR coins for this very nice denarius of Severus Alexander. It arrived in the mail a short time ago. Severus Alexander Denarius OBV: IMP ALEXANDER PIVS AVG, Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right REV: SPES PVBLICA, Spes advancing left, flower in right, with left raising skirt Struck at Rome, 232 AD 3.3g,19mm RIC IV 254, RSC III 543 P.S. Of course, I wanted to start a thread so I could see how difficult or easy the process. So far it seems much easier.
And here the republic I got in the trade. Tough one to get pics of. MN FONTEIUS CF (85 B.C.) AR Denarius O: Laureate head of Apollo Vejovis right, M FONTEI CF behind, thunderbolt below, ROMA monogram below chin. R: Infant Genius riding goat right, caps of the Dioscuri above, filleted thyrsos below. Rome 4g 20mm Cr353/1a
yah, I totally agree with randygeki => "Both cool coins" Nicely played Bing ... you traded your "double" for a sweet Sev-Alex denarius (I'm sure that both of your are quite satisfied by the trade, eh?) ... well played, brothers (well played)
