<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cucumbor, post: 5281617, member: 4298&quot;]I had the same idea, and guess what, I got a package from the very same person, including an ancient coin, reason why I can post it here, plus a run of nice US modern silver coins (one 1881 Morgan dollar, one 1909S Barber half, one 1931D Mercury dime and one 1945 walking Liberty half, all of them with very nice old cabinet patina), plus a 1957 Mexican peso. I was blown away when opening the package, as I was expecting a Season&#039;s greetings card of some sort (it was a bit heavy before opening though <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> )</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1221170[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Septimius Severus (193-211)</b>, AR Denarius, issued 205.
