Looks OK to me. It's emperor Elagabalus. The flip tag is wrong. Not rare but desirable.

Well I'm no expert but I think you're going to need to remove it from from the flip.

 

ahh... that explains the results google was turning up. thanks for identifying the emperor Mat - that will make research easier

 

I have to agree with Mat---I see nothing wrong with it EXCEPT the flip info.

My example with a far less desirable reverse than yours.

 

Cooooool, thanks for sharing!~

 

Since my post I did score this denarius of Elagabalus.....Hmmm, I guess you were part of the 'inspiration' LOL:



BTW: Mine was 'estimated' at about $400.00....but can sell for a bit lower or higher than that.

 

That's nice
