<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orielensis, post: 7909264, member: 96898&quot;]September 23rd: Since I am posting my Septimius coins by RIC number, things will go east towards the end of the month. This &quot;Emesa&quot;-denarius has a substantial gouge on the reverse but still is rather heavy. I wonder whether someone scooped off a bit of silver to &quot;correct&quot; an overweight flan? This method is mostly known from Republican coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1365251[/ATTACH] </p><p><font size="3">Septimius Severus, Roman Empire, AR denarius, 194–195 AD, &quot;Emesa&quot; mint.
