<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2444613, member: 19463&quot;]I doubt you were counting Clodius Albinus in the 193 group but he does have coins issued that year as Caesar under Septimius Severus.&nbsp; These have a date of COS like the denarius below but the ones with COS II like the sestertius would be later (194-195).&nbsp; I bought this crazy eye denarius many years ago (1989) from a dealer still in business today (almost unusual).&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]510050[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]510051[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree most of the Pescennius denarii were destroyed.&nbsp; Not just types but there are many die variations, mispellings mostly, seen only by a few coins. My BONI EV<b>I</b>NTVS is an example of this while my VICTOR IVST AVG is a relatively common type with several examples known.&nbsp; Both of mine are 194 AD coins.&nbsp; I need a 193. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]510048[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]510049[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The OP is a nice Rome mint coin.&nbsp; I do not have one but here are two from the Alexandria mint which are, IMHO, a bit more common than the Rome mint coins.&nbsp; Relatively few dealers are 100% comfortable with making the distinction.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]510046[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]510047[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I do not have a Didius Julianus anymore (sold in 1974) but there is this Septimius early 193 die which looks a lot like him.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]510053[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
