<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 8042719, member: 19463&quot;]This legionary denarius of Septimius Severus was unwanted in the junk box at a show in New Carrolton MD in 1987.&nbsp; Despite the hole, crack and patina gained from being hoarded with bronze coins (it is not fourree), I considered it worth $10.&nbsp; It was my first SS legionary but has been upgraded several times.&nbsp; IMO any SS legionary that is identifiable to legion and is not the most common LEG XIIII GEMMV is worth having.&nbsp; This one is quite certainly LEG XXII PRI which is one of the most scarce of the series.&nbsp; Of course, I don&#039;t know anyone but me who cares enough about the series to try to have the set. This coin is permanent in my collection just from being first of what later became an obsession.&nbsp; I have known several people who joined me in my interest of SS Eastern denarii but fewer seem to like the Rome mint coins (of which I only specialize in the 193 AD issues).&nbsp; I do suspect that this is the worst known example.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1392477[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
