Ever have that coin that....

Well, I have this photo, and I can't locate the coin, I could have just photo'd it and wanted to do some research. I am not sure, I look back now and hope it is just hiding somewhere.

Did you look under the desk or in a pocket?
Maybe it was just beamed up by Kirk.

 

A coin like that deserves the cabinet of some kind, I can't find it.. the dealer could have just wanted to much.

 

Well. I'm sure one of our Ancients Aliens will be by to check it out.

 

Alien?
Sal, it's still early. I understand Friday nights can get a little rough sometimes....

 

Another word starting with A, Afficionados!

 

Sorry. Maybe too much "Ancient Aliens" show and the Original Star Trek. The one from 1966-1969. I was just born in '66, so I'm catching up late.

 

I know I didn't buy this one,

 

It's a sestertius of Severus Alexander. I'm too lazy to peruse that volume of Sear's RCV, but it looks like it's PROVIDENTIAAVG S-C.

The guy was a bit of a milquetoast, but not a bad emperor.

 

Severus Alexander
A.D. 231- 235
Ӕ Sestertius
IMP ALEXANDER PIVS AVG; laureate head right with slight drapery over left shoulder.
PROVIDENTIA AVG S-C; Providentia holding corn-ears over modius and cornucopia.
RIC IV Rome 642

 

Any of you have a photo of the ones that may have gotten away? I would have enjoyed adding that coin to my library.
