<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 2988239, member: 31620&quot;]The other nine were ok. A bit of a mixed bunch with each coin having enough of a small problem to cause them to not be able to stand on their own. The Septimius Severus has a scratch from the cheek through to the field on the right which probably caused this one to be tossed into the pile. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the remainder of the lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>Caracalla. A nice portrait but a slightly uneven strike which is evident in the end of the obverse legend and the start of the reverse legend.</p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_066bx_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Elagabalus. Again the portrait is nice enough but the reverse lets it down. There is a lack of clarity through TR P and the front end of the right wing as well as the legs and shields of Victory to drag this one down a bit.</p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_071ai_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>A pair of Julia Mamaea </p><p>A distinct double strike combined with slightly porous surfaces.</p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_079i_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>There is a weak strike to the reverse or all the silver that should be in Vestas arm has been taken up with Julias nose. A distinctive portrait style which isn&#039;t the most attractive for this empress.</p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_079h_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
