<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2866343, member: 19463&quot;]There are many ugly coins at my place but this one has an excuse.&nbsp; It was my first Septimius Severus legionary denarius.&nbsp; I got it at a show in New Carrolton MD in 1987 for $10.&nbsp; I had studied the coins enough to know I could ID it from the remnants of legend and even then $10 was not bad for the rarest legion in the Septimius series.&nbsp; LEG XXII PRI coins often have part legends an this one has the PRI at reverse right which is more than you can say about many of them.&nbsp; It got me interested in collecting the other legions and I even &#039;upgraded&#039; this one but will never part with this one despite the hole, crack and &#039;patina&#039; (from being hoarded with copper coins, I assume).&nbsp; I don&#039;t think there is anyone else here who cares about the SS legions (Bing is our Antony man) let alone getting the set.&nbsp; I might not have had the first one I found not been the &#039;rare&#039; (Reka Devnia 0) one albeit ugly. From here, the rest were easy. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]683787[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
