<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3232468, member: 19463"]I makes no difference whether I am getting bored with your obsession. The one that bothers me is I may be getting bored with some of MY obsessions. I hope YOU are still having fun with these coins. A couple of the things I am seeking are so unlikely to turn up (like the LEG IIII) that I might miss them if I saw them. I tell people that my #1 want list items are things I did not know existed. That is a bit of a lie. Roger Bickford-Smith owned a Syrian mint coin of Septimius Severus that was with 100% certainty overstruck on a denarius of Pescennius Niger. When he died, it went to the British Museum. I have overstruck denarii but none have that Pescennius with no doubt undertype. When I am looking for my coin, I am also watching for a LEG IIII. I see enough MA legionaries that I can hope I will find one with that number. Yours exists. Does mine? I can hope, at least, to find something I did not know exists.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
