<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2627926, member: 19463&quot;]My new coin for today is an AE drachm of Alexandria for Caracalla with Zeus reverse.&nbsp; It has many faults but is better than anything remotely similar I have seen at a price I&#039;d pay.&nbsp; Splits and wear don&#039;t bother me but the date is LK plus a letter at the right that could be B or Gamma so I am uncertain if the coin is year 22 or 23.&nbsp; Sure we could have more obverse letters, too.&nbsp; LKB is not listed in Emmett but seems the best guess. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]577750[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The one below is a much better type and has over half the obverse legend making it beyond exceptional.&nbsp; That may be why it sold for $8500. Nice Severan Alexandrian bronzes are not common.&nbsp; I feel lucky to have the one I have. </p><p><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=240236" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=240236" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=240236</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cngcoins.com/photos/big/94000941.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
