<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 7994938, member: 97383&quot;]Blake, I became a CT member well after you did so this is the first time I&#039;ve seen this thread. I can&#039;t afford the high grade imperial bronzes of the Severan family so I&#039;ve focused on high grade tetradrachms that are much more affordable <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. One sestertius in my photo file that put me in a state of awe is pictured below.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1386898[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Septimius Severus, AD 193-211 (struck AD 196). Reverse: Victory with wreath &amp; palm frond. AE Sestertius: 24.79 gm, 6 h. <i>Ex CNG Triton VIII, Jan. 10, 2005 (hammer price $9,000.00).</i></b></p><p>This coin has been floating around the auction circuit for over 35 years, but I don&#039;t know where it currently resides.</p><p><br /></p><p>The sestertius pictured below is my first &amp; only example of Severus that I posted recently. The coin pictured below it is a rather handsome provincial bronze that I removed from the slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1386908[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1386910[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
