Not to pry, but what does one of the coins cost?

Hatter: Not sure what he paid for his. "IF" you can actually find one, about a grand and over.

Thanks all! Very excited to have this coin!

As to the cost of my coin, let's say I will end up paying somewhat more for it than what I paid for my coin of Theodahad.

It was a good amount less than $500, but more than my coin of Theodahad.

Almost forgot to mention: in hand, at the right angle, the bust of Libius Severus can be seen. Has that alien-looking face I've seen on a couple of other coins of him. Was a bit of a surprise since many of these tiny bronzes usually have nothing left on the obverse.

Or anything left on the reverse as well. lol

That's a very hard slot to fill. Congrats!

I looked it up in AORTA and it is listed.

Weight I have no idea (nothing to weigh it with), width is 9 mm.

I'm surprised you don't have a digital scale yet. I got mine for about $10 on ebay so they are somewhat cheap. After a few months, I got both a scale and a digital caliper.

Gotta get those eventually. lol

Again, great find!

Don't really have a real need for one yet. Maybe I'll get one in the future, to be on the safe side.
