<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1957299, member: 19463&quot;]I hope you have figured out #6.&nbsp;&nbsp; The&nbsp; Faustina II #12 shows a clue that not all her coins do.&nbsp; It was issued while her father Antoninus Pius was alive and she was listed as PII AVG FIL or daughter of Pius Augustus.&nbsp; Her mother Faustina I never used it (she was not daughter of an emperor).&nbsp; After Pius died, Faustina was primarily wife of the emperor (Marcus) so the &#039;F&#039; legend was dropped.&nbsp; I believe your #1 also has a variation on this legend but the photos are less clear. </p><p><br /></p><p>Your Septimius is from a period that many coins are missing the L SEP SEV part of the legend but his portrait and the rest of the legend is still distinctive.&nbsp; Your coin does show PERT honoring Pertinax but this rare emperor is easily distinguished by portrait and the rest of the legend.&nbsp; Notice your #5 is Marcus Aurelius but before he became emperor.&nbsp; Like his wife Faustina II, he is shown as AVG PII F or son of Augustus Pius.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Bing is right about it being best to show reverses.&nbsp; All of your coins are identifiable by portrait alone but I suspect many of use could get most of them solely from the reverses.&nbsp; In any event, all the information you can give when asking for help is worth giving.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Enjoy the group.&nbsp; They are a nicely diverse selection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
