But it seems to be an awfully rare occurrence, so it would be a real fluke if that&#039;s what&#039;s going on with your coin, just after I posted about mine.&nbsp; (Or maybe it&#039;s more common than we realize?)</p><p><br /></p><p>In any case, I&#039;m happy you are collecting Severus Alexander denarii. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; (Please leave the middle bronzes for me, though, K? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
