Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 03/23/2012 12:07 am Since I didn't buy the fake Greek and since I will be out of touch for almost two weeks, I thought I would buy a few more coins and hopefully they will be waiting for me upon my return. The first is a Dupondius of Nerva, RIC 87, struck at Rome: OBV: IMP NERVA CAES AVG P M TR P COS III P P, radiate head right REV: LIBERTAS PVBLICA S-C, Liberty standing left, holding pileus and sceptre The second is a Tetradrachm of Maximianus, Milne 4855, struck at Alexandria: OBV: A K M A OVA MAXIMIANOC CEB, laureate, draped & cuirassed bust right REV: Homonoia standing left holding branch & cornucopiae, L-G across fields The third is a Denarius of Septimius Severus, RIC 176, struck at Rome: OBV: SEVERVS PIVS AVG, laureate head right REV: PART MAX P M TR P VIIII, two captives seated at foot of trophy Once again I am over my budget for the month. But, hey, I am working the next two weeks and I won't be buying nor looking during that time. All three were less than $70 including shipping. Report this Post to the Staff

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 03/23/2012 12:19 am Thanks for the compliments. The Septimius Severus has a weak reverse, but like you said, a nice portrait. I'm not sure yet, but the Nerva looks like it could use a gentle cleaning when it arrives, but we'll have to wait to see. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 03/23/2012 01:13 am That's an interesting group...I think the Nerva will look better in-hand. I almost bid on the Severus--glad you got it! Report this Post to the Staff

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 03/23/2012 9:51 pm You are correct Doug. I just took what the seller had and went with it. It would seem this coin is Milne 5072, year 8, second officina: OBV: MAΞIMIANOC CEB, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right REV: Homonoia standing left, probably not holding anything in right hand & cornucopiae in left hand, L-H across fields Edited by Bing 03/24/2012 07:14 am Report this Post to the Staff
