This thread must set a coin talk record for the most Rome mint Septimius denarii shown. Bing did show a nice 'Emesa' but the rest of the denarii...
While many of us have benefited in the form of generous gifts of coins, I like to think the best thing we get from CT is knowing other people who...
That is one nice coin! All I have is a worn hemidrachm with graffiti. [ATTACH]
Oddly enough I paid $45 for a very similar coin in September of this year so lets compare them. Your coin has a better separation between the ear...
That is a pleasant portrait with smoothly worn fields! Mine is a different reverse (SAECVLO FRVGIFERO) with rough fields on the obverse...
I am happy to see someone else who appreciates coins that are a bit worn but still interesting. That said, I have to like that deer on #4 and...

EBay, shows, auctions and coin shops all share one characteristic when it comes to prices. There are good deals and there are horrid rip-offs in...
Book are an interesting commodity. When I first got interested in Septimius Severus, I bought a BMCRE vol. V at a used book store for $10. When...
