@GerardV I think what you are doing is probably the best thing you could be doing. It took me forever to make out legends because I wasn’t...
@Mat Thanks pal, I haven’t been seeing a lot of Probus anything that isn’t super expensive or totally junk. @randygeki and @chrsmat71 Thanks...
@Youngcoin It is probably just old cabinet toning. It’s a pleasant enough color, just dark. I have many denarii that are bright and this piece...
@Youngcoin and @Bing: Thanks very much for the compliments. Yes, the detail on the Severus is really great. It’s a little dark but the strike...
Well, I stopped by the coin shop the other day and looked through their Severan material because you know, I hadn't spent any money that day. My...
I agree with Ajax. I think it is an RS. The S's in this time period tend to slant right slightly and also are very compact to where when worn...
Very nice pickup Erin! An outstanding example of Tetrarchy coinage.
Nice addition Mat. Don't feel bad, I have two (2) Republican coins.
@Alegandron I agree, that portrait is very well done. Even the detail on the reverse is strong. Fouree or debased official coinage?

@Bing I really like the strong legends and detail on the reverse of yours. I don't think I could have bought one like yours without doubling the...
Hello All, I was happy to add a new coin to my Septimius Severus collection this week. FVNDATOR PACIS is a reverse legend that I had been...
Nice addition @Mat!
@zumbly That's a pretty reasonable price actually. About what I paid for mine. I guess I just miss out on a lot of stuff that goes through...
@Bing and @Mikey Zee also nice coins both of you. I can not remember where but it was a listing for sale of a JDomna Isis stepping out of boat...
Yes, @zumbly those are some great coins. I am curious what you would get a coin like that for in a CNG e-auction. I look at their listings all...
@Theodosius Well, thank you sir. I will appreciate it more when I am able to know for sure if the references I cited are wholly appropriate for...
Hi all, In addition to my fine Greek coin today, I also received another fancy bit of business in the mail today. I do not even seen this...
