<p>[QUOTE="ominus1, post: 3429829, member: 89687"]This always had a glint of shiny to it, but i thought it was a limes denarius and i just bought a shiny new(to me anyway) nice looking one.. today I got a couple in(I'll post inna few) and I was at the coin&stuff table weighing and measuring getting ready to take pics of them and this was sitting there looking at me. I've considered selling this and the Ae of Julia together as a set of limes coins. Anyway. i'm looking at it and thought 'hey, it's got a shine poking out of the black, let's just find out once and for all if it is or ain't.. so I soap brushed it for a while, more shine poking out.. it's already got places where it wouldn't be too noticeable,(like with my Marc Anthony coin)for a scrap and test cut..Lo and behold, I've had a silver Sept. Severus this whole time(12 years) and didn't know it..now I've got two!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Anyone got a similar story?[ATTACH=full]910699[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]910700[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]910701[/ATTACH] Septimius Severus AR denarius.
