<p>[QUOTE=&quot;curtislclay, post: 5164620, member: 89514&quot;]Blake,</p><p><br /></p><p>I haven&#039;t noticed any marked decrease in the numbers of Severan sestertii appearing on the market. They have always been quite scarce! French dealers seem to have them quite frequently, presumably because they are found with some regularity in France.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll try to show you my unpublished Caracalla sestertius soon. I don&#039;t take coin photos myself, so have to impose on my colleague Justin Benton for the favor. Sorry to have outbid you for the coin; if it&#039;s any consolation it wasn&#039;t a near miss, since my limit was several hundreds of dollars higher. Not that it was particularly cheap at the price realized, in my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the Geta&nbsp; Caesar weight. I look forward to seeing your Geta RIC 167. Why not show it here on Coin Talk?</p><p><br /></p><p>The order of Septimius&#039; rev. types in 193 is a bit of a puzzle. Maybe the die links that you have observed on sestertii will be helpful. A quick look at my die catalogue of 1972 didn&#039;t reveal any shared sestertius&nbsp; obv. dies between LEG XIIII GEM M V and VICT AVG.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
