Check out this Severina...

The most common type for her, but the strike and silvering combine for a gorgeous little bit of metal...

I like the hair on it, nice.

Mine would probably be better under the green since alot of silvering is under it, but meh.

Well I like the reverse!

(The obverse is cool too...that hair...)

 

I cant see much green on this coin....looks good to me.
if you want to see some nasty concrete hard green deposits, ive just posted a thread with some which make yours look like a real gem!!

 

Cool coin of her's JA

Q

 

that's a sharp coin....she must have just got her hair done! hot!

 

Outstanding detailed coin!

 

That is quite the sharp coin, especially for Severina. It is pretty hard to find coins of hers that are not badly worn, damaged or just kind of garbage in general. The detail in the hair is pretty amazing, I agree. Mat, your coin is no where near as "meh" as you make it out to be.

 

The profile reminds me of Jackie Kennedy... Very nice.

 

The hair is somewhat different than mine. Both mine and Mat's have diadems in the hair but the OP has what seems to me more like a wing. The attachment is very odd for a hair ornament and seems to be supported differently. I must admit that well silvered coins of this period never look right to me. I know they all were silvered when issued but I am accustomed to the copper look.

 

OMG your right.

 

Awesome coin!

 

Sweet pickup, JA ... another super winner (congrats)

=> I have a pretty sweet example as well ... ummm, oh and I just posted it in a different thread (yup, that might be a new record for me? => I've just posted the same coin in two different threads within 5 minutes of each other!!)



=> oh well, here she is again for another curtain-call ... Severina

 

what's with severina today, I've seen like 6 of these, here, FB, another forum, all in one day...

 

=> ooops, they're probably all posts of my one sweet example?!!

 

Saw the one on the fb group too, lol.

 

Hmm. Severina looks familiar.

 

ahaha, you nailed it ...

Severina => Jane Jetson (hot!)


Oh, and Astro rocked (he was kinda like a moody futuristic Scoobie Doo, eh?)

 

Not to mention the centering.

Great coin, but I was thinking she looked a bit lower-brow - RHPSish -

I like the wings on Severina's coins. Does anyone have a pic of what this dress looked like?
