[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 8242877, member: 97383"]Donna, Nice score on your Severus Tet :happy:! I encountered the same dilemma with the coin pictured below :confused:. The coin was listed as Prieur 451 (copyright 2000) with no photo when I bought it. When McAlee's book was printed (copyright 2007), an example was illustrated as McAlee 959, Ex. Rare. Prieur cited only 1 example. My coin is a reverse die match with McAlee 959, but the obverse die is different, so there are at least 2 examples known of the type. [ATTACH=full]1451186[/ATTACH] The coin pictured below is a Tyre Tet of Geta I won at a Heritage auction a couple of ears ago, it falls in the same date range as your coin. [ATTACH=full]1451192[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1451193[/ATTACH] The Tet of Septimius Severus pictured bellow I won from a Freeman & Sear auction at least 25 years ago. The portrait style is similar to your coin. [ATTACH=full]1451194[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
