<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7962406, member: 19463&quot;]My offering is just a bit different.&nbsp; The reverse figure is Liberalitas with the coin counter but the legend is LIBERTAS AVG.&nbsp; The die cutter was not primarily a Latin speaker.&nbsp; The obverse reads IMP C M AVR SEV ALEXAND.&nbsp; At the point of the bust there might be an A merging with the drape or that fold might just be a fold.&nbsp;&nbsp; If there ever was an AVG on the coin, it is now lost.&nbsp; The style strikes me as Eastern in spirit but does not match up with the standard Eastern coins of Severus Alexander so the coin seems more likely unofficial.&nbsp; Has anyone seen one like this (other than on my website where it made the list of my top 99 1/2 as of that date)?&nbsp; I got it from Jonathan Kern in 1993. Back then he often had large bags of denarii that were only sorted by price.&nbsp; I really miss that way of buying coins.&nbsp; I prefer to ID and decipher coins myself.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1380351[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
