                                Sale: CNG 60, Lot: 1733. Closing Date: May 22, 
                                2002. PERTINAX Estimate $500 Sold For $380 

                              PERTINAX. 193 AD. AR Denarius (2.63 gm). 
                              Alexandria Mint. Laureate head right / Ops seated 
                              left, holding grain ears. RIC -; BMCRE -; RSC 33a. 
                              Toned VF. ($500)
                              RIC and BMC make no distinction between the Rome 
                              and Alexandria mint denarii of Pertinax, though 
                              the styles are quite distinguishable. Two reverse 
                              types were struck at Alexandria, the type seen 
                              here and Providentia, and though this specimen is 
                              reasonably well preserved, Alexandria mint denarii 
                              are usually on very porous flans and are usually 
                              very worn.
