<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Egry, post: 7306403, member: 113686&quot;]It has been almost a year and a half since I realized that my newly purchased Pescennius Niger denarius from Roma Numis had gone missing in transit. I still think about what a loss to history that may have been, and it made me think about all the other coins that get lost in the mail. I mean where do they actually end up?? </p><p><br /></p><p>Regardless, I am pleased to say that I have finally acquired a Pescennius Niger denarius which will be proudly added to my collection, and one that is many times nicer than the one that went missing.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1277467[/ATTACH] </p><p>Pescennius Niger, Roman Emperor from 193-194 AD, Silver Denarius (2.98g, 21mm), struck at Antioch 193 AD. Obverse: Laureate Head of Pescennius Niger facing right, legend around, “IMP CAES C PESE NIGER IVSTI AV”. Reverse: Jupiter seated facing left on backless throne, holding sceptre in left hand and Victoria, who holds spear and wreath, in his right, legend around, “IOVI PRAE ORBIS”. As Sear-6111 (different legend); RSC-43b var. A problem free denarius of Pescennius Niger with near perfect centring – features a curiously different obverse legend and a scarcer reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please post any of your coins from The Year of The Five Emperors! (Sounds like it should be an action movie).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
