<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JayAg47, post: 24571649, member: 112342&quot;]Just recieved my first coin of Severus Alexander, despite his coins being dime a dozen I&#039;ve never gotten around getting one until now. Couple of reasons why I bought this coin, first it looks fantastic, in fact the best denarius in my collection condition-wise. Also the coin is an oddball weighing at 4.35g! being unusually heavy for the time period. Was this a quality control issue or did a planchet for antoninianus get mixed up?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1558474[/ATTACH]</p><p><font size="4">225 AD, 19mm, 4.35 grams, unusually heavy for a third century denarius.</font></p><p><font size="4">IMP C M AVR SEV ALEXAND AVG, laureate and draped bust of Severus Alexander to right.</font></p><p><font size="4">Reverse - FIDES MILITVM, Fides standing front, head to left, holding two military standards.
