[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2024687, member: 19463"]Bing bemoaned the lack of activity on CT last night. I spent a good part of last evening repackaging coins and found interest (to me - maybe only to me) in several coins I had not touched for a few years. Rather than show you all the Septimius Severus coins I find of interest (that will take a while), I'll show three that have something in common and ask if (a) anyone can figure out what these have in common besides being COS II - Emesa denarii and (b) if they are in any way more interesting than a couple hundred other similar coins that do not share this characteristic. When things are slow, I could spin a wheel and post the coin whose number comes up with an explanation of why I don't want to get rid of that coin. I might even find the coins I can't figure out why I want the thing but it is hard to sell your children unless they have been very bad. What say you: How badly do we want posts on slow times here? I know I have others that fit this situation but they were not in the bunch I touched last night. [ATTACH=full]367322[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]367324[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]367325[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
