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.

 

I've got pics of one that hasn't even gotten away yet (it's still there for sale) but it's just simply out of my price range.

 

you can pray to San Antonio di Padova
