<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1292826, member: 19463&quot;]Some collectors who own a Tribute Penny like to believe that their coin was the exact one shown to Christ.&nbsp; I will choose to believe that my sestertius of Verus once was hurled like an Angry Bird by the guy whose picture is on the coin.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I only own one Verus denarius and it was bought for a reason few will appreciate.</p><p>[ATTACH]144469.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Compare this common Verus to the extremely rare denarius of Septimius Severus below.&nbsp; The dating numbers on the coin are appropriate for Verus but impossible for Severus who passed through IMP II two years before he became TRP IIII.&nbsp; The Alexandria mint was new at the business and just copied a few coin reverses that happened to be at hand.&nbsp; I specialize in Severus and am happy to have the rare coin even though it is in poor shape.&nbsp; The Verus is a footnote.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH]144476.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
