<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2330759, member: 19463&quot;]While I agree with the thrill of finally finding something long wanted, I get even more a thrill when I find something that I never dreamed existed but that seemed to fit my particular brand of strangeness or should I say specialty.&nbsp; I have collected coins of Septimius Severus since 1963 when I got one particular reverse legend that became very special to me.&nbsp; I never knew the legend also existed for Julia Domna so I was thrilled when I found one.&nbsp; It turned out that the coin was listed in Cohen in the 1880&#039;s from a specimen in Paris but I never knew about it until I found mine.&nbsp; I have seen no other. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]472514[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>A coin friend traded me a coin special to my technical collection that I never knew existed.&nbsp; There are many brockage errors and many flipover doublestrikes but this coin is a flipover doublestrike where the first strike was a brockage.&nbsp; Few people specialize in error coins but I like them especially when they are something I never knew existed. My treasure is a mess to most eyes.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]472515[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>What will be next?&nbsp; I have a want list but I hope it is something NOT on my want list because I have not had the thought to put it on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
