<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 4891087, member: 31620&quot;]I have decided to go through some of my coins that I bought back when I started collecting ancients that have been sitting in a coin storage box for too long unlooked at. This will force me to assess which of these coins will stay and which I will part with as my interests have changed so much since I started out.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am taking time to look at, check out my attributions, update the photography, weigh and measure. Then the coins will be put in smaller piles whilst I figure out how I dispose of the ones I will part with.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first coin is the one that got me into ancients in the first place and one that I have shared here before. This one has a sentimental place in my collection and I will never part with it. I thought it worth sharing my up to date images though. I hope that you don&#039;t mind me sharing some of my finds on my trip down memory lane as I work through these boxes....</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Severus Alexander denarius </b></p><p>Obv:– IMP ALEXANDER PIVS AVG, Laureate head right</p><p>Rev:– MARS VLTOR, Mars advancing right, holding a spear and shield</p><p>Minted in Rome, A.D. 232</p><p>References:– RIC 246, RSC 161a</p><p><br /></p><p>3.64gms. 19.91mm. 180 degrees </p><p><br /></p><p>Dark grey toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1180379[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>And here is a section of the reverse in close up.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1180380[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
