<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 1922694, member: 31620&quot;]This is a great coin combined with a great write up. I have wanted to add a Pescennius Niger to my collection for a long time. Their relationship to the early coinage of Sept. Sev. from Emesa being a large factor. This particular coin has many, many elements that make it attractive to those of us who collect the Emesa series. The AVS for AVG error is apparent on a VICTOR IVST AVS (sic) die from early in the reign of Sept. Sev. which calls up several parallels to Doug&#039;s coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There aren&#039;t many coin that I have seen of Pescennius Niger that have appealed to me on so many levels.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have contemplated buying a Pescennius Niger denarius a few times over the years but none has ticked enough boxes to justify the price tag, which would have easily made the purchase my most expensive coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My patient search continues but I now have a benchmark to aim for. I doubt that I will obtain an example that is quite as attractive or as interesting as this one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
