<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4264065, member: 19463&quot;]I do so very much wish I could remember what I have posted here in the decade I have been a member so I could pick something that I know most of you have not seen.&nbsp; The easy answer is to post a coin that no one would want to see because it is so ordinary.&nbsp;&nbsp; This &#039;Emesa&#039; mint MONET AVG is not high grade but I really like the style of the portrait.&nbsp; Septimius&#039; Eastern mints are a specialty with me and there was a time I bought just about any that came around if they had dies I lacked or if they were die linked to only one side of another of my coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; It was the first of the 15 coins of this type I have. I have been watching for a better example of this obverse die but there are a lot of dies and I don&#039;t get to as many shows as I once did so that may not happen.&nbsp; The coin has another claim to infamy in that I &#039;lost&#039; it for about five years when it got returned to the wrong envelope and was misfiled.&nbsp; I really think I need to do a complete inventory now and find out what else turns up missing.&nbsp; Like all the rest of my generation, I should have some free time coming since I am not wanted in the outside world these days. I do love this coin.&nbsp; Any coin that has been with me since before I started my computer files and assigned numbers to coins is just a little special to me.&nbsp; Most of all, I do not recall showing it here before.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1086324[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
