That's really cool. Congratulations on your find.
I understand that this denomination is somewhat scarce for the Severans. Here is my one sestertius of Septimius Severus. Obv. L SEPT SEV PERT AVG...
I'm waiting for a little inexpensive Hadrian denarius from Roma. I also paid within an hour of getting the invoice and have been waiting for a...
The patina is not quite as green as your re-do. It's more brown with a hint of green. My original picture is fairly accurate. As far as the coins...

Maybe it's because I'm pretty new to ancient coins and I haven't found a niche yet but I have been collecting every thing from Roman Republic to...
I only have 3 coins of this fine, upstanding Roman. I am just getting into learning how to photograph coins and I just got a copy stand yesterday....

That's a really cool ship. I love maritime history but have no ship coins.
