<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GregH, post: 2672080, member: 75936&quot;]I have finally completed my Year of the Five Emperors set with this Pescennius Niger denarius: </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cngcoins.com/photos/big/3920561.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>Pescennius Niger. </b>AD 193-194. AR Denarius (17.5mm, 2.98 g, 12h). Antioch mint. Laureate head right / Spes advancing left, holding up flower and hem of skirt. RIC IV 3b; RSC 6 var. (obv. legend). </p><p><br /></p><p>Niger&#039;s coins look almost barbarous in style - as i understand it, the die engravers were from provincial mints, imitating the imperial style. So this series is pretty interesting.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s not a perfect coin, it has honest wear, but a comparable piece on vcoins costs 3x what i paid in the CNG auction. I really think auctions are the way to go![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
