Thanks very much! I knew if anyone could tell me more about an old collection provenance it'd be you. :)
I got in a beautiful little denarius a few weeks ago. There is a lot to love about this coin! [IMG] Septimius Severus (AD 193-211) AR Denarius...
Indeed! That was a great deal!
I don't know how much @H8_modern's coin cost, but I'd say - going by the past several years - a budget specimen of that type might be anywhere...
Worn but plenty of eye appeal, and a historic type! I like it.
That's amazing that coins nearly 1,500 years old were still apparently in circulation!
Fabulous coin @JayAg47 - Alexander has a very distinctive upward gaze on your specimen. Glad you were able to find a better and less expensive...
You are entitled to your own opinion, but I think it's myopic to declare that anti-Western sentiment has nothing to do with the recent frenetic...
Very artistic portrait, and a beautiful patina. I like it!

Interesting posts @GinoLR and @Curtisimo. You both make some good points! Personally, I don't think it's too difficult to judge which emperors...
Interesting thread bump. My collection and my interests have developed in the last year or two. I guess I need to update my vote...this coin now...
Great coins. I'm particularly jealous of that AP Britannia!
Heavily worn, but I like it. The portrait is still pretty good, and the obverse especially has some really nice golden/rainbow toning to it. Low...
This came from an auction and I think it cost me around $100-120 after all the fees, shipping, currency conversion, etc. The reverse isn't so...
Thanks everyone! @Curtis thanks for linking the articles about Caesar's elephant denarius. I will definitely be checking those out!
A week or two ago (as some of you who are also on Numis Forums may have seen) I mentioned that I had a major milestone coin coming in the mail....
A very respectable pair. Congratulations!
