I have a new one to show off. It is a HUGE size 8mm and weighs a HEAVY 0.53 grams. The obverse is a diademed, draped & cuirassed bust right (supposedly). The Reverse is a monogram. It is struck on an undersized and underweight platchet so the complete monogram does not show, which is normal for the time period. I have not done anything except for a rinse off and slight rub. I know what I THINK it is- what do you think it is? If it is- should I submit it to NGC Ancients for verification? Later- Report this Post to the Staff

pendrak Valued Member United States 253 Posts	Posted 10/08/2017 11:41 pm I think it is a Severus III or some say Libius Severus. This is one of the real hard to find Romans for we Roman collectors. Is this coin too small to submit for verification? Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 10/09/2017 12:16 am This is a coin I would send out to David Sear for verification. I believe also that it's Libius Severus with the reverse mono of Ricimer. If so it's a rare coin #25 on the list of rarity. Report this Post to the Staff
