[QUOTE="Nemo, post: 2190250, member: 58462"]Thanks, these were a lot of fun to put together. I also like the double struck Niger, it illustrates the high level of quality control at the mint. He was obviously issuing a massive amount of coinage to pay troops and buy loyalty. The scarcity of his coinage belies the fact that it was struck on a monumental scale and in staggering variety. We can only assume that after his defeat at the hands of Septimius Severus in AD 194 his coins were meticulously recalled and melted down.[/QUOTE]
