Interesting thread. Just today I got what might be my best Severus Alexander denarius (RIC 70, I believe). It came with original "souvenir"...
Just wondering about the "worthless" Julia Domna and Septimius Severus. If they are genuine and ancient, they probably are worth a little...

I like Doug's approach to collecting. Being surprised is a big part of it for me - I don't really know what I want until I see it, and sometimes...
Those are very nice portraits, Macromius. Marcus Aurelius portraits vary widely in terms of artistic quality and yours are top o' the line. My...
Welcome aboard, Jasper Burns!
Nice coins, all missing from my RR collection.
