<p>[QUOTE="Ajax, post: 2723780, member: 78656"]This coin was listed as a bargain Easter coin at ~30 US and I'm so happy I got it. I had this coin on my watchlist the morning it was listed but for reasons I'm still unsure of I just didn't pull the trigger. When I finally decided to grab it, the coin was gone from the sellers shop. I was pretty bummed but I figured I'd inquire if it was still for sale because it wasn't showing as sold. Thankfully I did because the dealer was just about to put it back on sale at a more dealer friendly price. </p><p>Anyway I'm probably rambling now but if we're doing vcoins reviews I'd say check out Dr. Martina Dieterle, one of the more friendly dealers I've come across. I believe Oki got a hell of a deal that weekend as well. </p><p>To top it all off it took 7 days to get from Germany to Canada.. man it's taken longer to get across country for me before. </p><p>Please share any Severus, bargain or vota coins or whatever you want really I'm not picky. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]617743[/ATTACH] </p><p>Septimius Severus 193-211</p><p>Rome mint 208</p><p>18mm 3.37g</p><p>Laureate bust right/ VOTA SVSCEPTA XX emperor standing sacrificing from patera over altar left.</p><p>RIC 308</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm just a bit confused about one thing.

Please share any Severus, bargain or vota coins or whatever you want really I'm not picky. [ATTACH=full]617743[/ATTACH] Septimius Severus 193-211 Rome mint 208 18mm 3.37g Laureate bust right/ VOTA SVSCEPTA XX emperor standing sacrificing from patera over altar left. RIC 308 I'm just a bit confused about one thing. VOTA SVSCEPTA XX means prayers undertaken for 20 years of rule but Severus had only been ruling for 15 or so years at this time.. maybe I'm just misunderstanding? Any critique on the photo is welcome too:)[/QUOTE]
