<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-monolith-, post: 25640406, member: 150064&quot;]I rarely purchase from Ebay anymore but I couldn&#039;t resist when I stumbled across this coin while scrolling thru my saved sellers list. I immediately noticed something odd about the coin in that the field around the reverse portrait was recessed. After rotating the reverse image it confirmed my suspicion. This was a clashed die. For some reason Severus Alexander coins seem to have a higher quantity of clashed dies compared to other emperors. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><b>Severus Alexander</b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">RIC IVii 178 (c)</p> <p style="text-align: center">Rome 222-228 AD</p> <p style="text-align: center">AR Denarius</p> <p style="text-align: center"><b>Obverse: IMP C M AVR SEV ALEXAND AVG</b>, Bust of Severus Alexander, laureate, draped, right</p> <p style="text-align: center"><b>Reverse:</b> traces of obverse die clash (incuse) struck over with <b>SALVS PVBLICA</b>, Salus, draped, seated left, feeding snake twined round altar out of patera in right hand</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1640467[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
