[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3111429, member: 56859"]Here's one of my favorite second chance coins. I was the underbidder on it in 2015 despite bidding higher than my planned max. It came around again a year later in a HJB Buy or Bid sale. Astonishingly, the Buy price was less than what I had bid the year before and that bid didn't even win! I didn't bid in the HJB BBS, I bought-- very quickly, within minutes of receiving the sale notice and finding the coin.

Rome mint Struck under Septimius Severus, circa AD 207-211 Obv: IVLIA AVGVSTA; draped bust right Rev: Fecunditas or Tellus (Earth) reclining left under tree, resting arm on basket of fruit and placing hand on celestial orb; standing before her are four children representing the Four Seasons Ref: RIC IV 549 (Septimius Severus); RSC 35 ex R.H.
