    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

    that's a cool self birthday present, nice details on severina....she looks surprised about something.


    this coin is my last "lady coin" that features a mortal, maybe. i don't think it is exactly known who or what this is...unusually described as a "female head".

    Happy Birthday, Eng!

    Don't have a Severina, but here's my favourite Aurelian, an As with husband and wife holding hands and a slightly creepy head of Sol floating between them.

    My Severina was ahead of her time unlike Bruce Jenner. Mine features her transition to a man featuring a mustache :D

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY ENG!!!!

    I'm with you---any reason to buy more coins is a great reason!!:D

    Love the posts and I even love those Bing shared with us:p

    My Severina is similar to Bings and a tad silvered----my other 'new lady' is a budget example of Agrippina Senior---and I'm still unsure if it was worth it, but it's mine now, for better or worse LOL

    PP, did you just buy this? I placed at bid on it and was outbid by the next fraction if this is the same coin.
