<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3262656, member: 19463"]My favorite on purpose pair are these two Julia Domna denarii from the 'Emesa' mint. Both were purchased as part of two group lots so you could say I bought 60 coins to get them but I am happy to have about 20 of those 60 still in my collection so it was not as bad as it sounds. I wanted the first one because it was a reverse legend special to me in my Septimius Severus collection. The second one (a ie duplicate) was an upgrade in some respects but not others. The BnF in Paris is supposed to have one (Cohen 250) but they have not released photos of that part of their collection so I do not know if it still exists. I don't know how many others exist. I know the coin can't be unique. I have two. I repeatedly ask to be shown others but I have seen none. </p><p><br /></p><p>Julia Domna, AR denarius 'Emesa' mint / Victory seated VICTOR IVST AVG</p><p>[ATTACH=full]858571[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]858572[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
