echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 08/03/2009 11:17 am , to the community, This is a coin of the Emperor Septimius Severus 193-211 AD. Obverse legend is SEVERVS PIVS AVG and the reverse legend is PM TR P XVI COS III PP. Jupiter standing aiming a thunderbolt and holding a spear. Nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16992 Posts	Posted 08/04/2009 08:17 am It is indeed silver; it's a denarius. The specific type isn't listed in the Sear catalogue, but denarii of Septimus Severus typically go for around $40 in VF condition. The patch of green goo on the reverse of your coin might lower the price, if it's corrosion rather than just uncleaned patina. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
