[QUOTE="hotwheelsearl, post: 4776810, member: 75143"]I've been through a handful of Sev Alexs lately, none of them nice. I got rid of them all when [USER=95247]@tenbobbit[/USER] sent me two nice examples, below. My first Severus Alexander: [ATTACH=full]1162708[/ATTACH] A much nicer example of a similar version from [USER=95247]@tenbobbit[/USER] [ATTACH=full]1162709[/ATTACH] Another nice Imperial Denarius from [USER=95247]@tenbobbit[/USER] [ATTACH=full]1162710[/ATTACH] Then, I found this one at an unbeatable price ($16.68), and I don't think I'll ever need another Severus Alexander after this one. I do plan on keeping the coins from [USER=95247]@tenbobbit[/USER] because they are good, affordable examples of two interesting types. However, I won't be in the market for anything else now! The "final upgrade": [ATTACH=full]1162707[/ATTACH] Severus Alexander AE Deultum Provincial Obv: IMPCMAVRSEV ALEXANDAVG Rev: COLFLPA CDEVLT Diam: 23mm Province: Deultum Reference: Moushmov 3583 I LOVE the hard, black patina this has. I suspect this is some sort of wax or lacquer applied a hundred years ago, but I have no plans on removing it since I really like the "cameo effect" it gives.[/QUOTE]
