<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2655300, member: 19463&quot;]I really like that first coin and can hardly wait to see the other 95 you won.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; OK my first thought was that 96 was a lot of wins from one sale but I soon woke up and realized that the 96 was the auction number.&nbsp; 30 years ago I returned home from work and my then 13 year old daughter told me that a dealer had called and asked if it was OK to send me a package of 194 Septimius Severus denarii on approval.&nbsp; We both knew that I specialized in the COS II Emesa coins made in 194 AD so she knew I would love to see them.&nbsp; The thought of seeing even a small group of the then less common than now coins was a thrill!&nbsp; When the (heavy!) box arrived, I found 194 count assorted Septimius Severus denarii of which only a couple were Emesa coins.&nbsp; Most were Rome mint commons in nothing special condition.&nbsp; Jumping to conclusions can be expensive when you figure what I had to pay to return them Registered mail.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I will be looking forward to seeing the rest of your wins even if there are fewer than 95 to go.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
