<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValiantKnight, post: 1966764, member: 44210&quot;]Thanks all. A metal detectorist found this one in Ukraine. Last year I think? According to the seller I&#039;m the second person (after them of course) to own it.&nbsp; Like bing, its one of only a few of which I know the provence.</p><p><br /></p><p>Out of those few my two favorites are my Septimius Severus denarius and my AE Styca of King Eanred of the Kingdom of Northumbria. The denarius was found in Yorkshire, England in 2010. I can&#039;t help but feel like a connection to it since that was the year I graduated high school (lame reason I know <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie10" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />). I like to think that it was lost by a Roman soldier that was part of Severus&#039; campaign in Britain in 208 AD. The styca was part of the Bolton Percy hoard found in England in 1847 (another undiscovered part of this hoard was found 1967 but my coin is from the first discovery), and its been through three collections since before finding its way to me.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa429/LurkingNinja/SeptimusSeverus.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa429/LurkingNinja/EanredSaxoncoin_zps85caff1d.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
