                                Description

     This coin was minted in 223 AD, during the reign of Severus
     Alexander, who ruled from 222-235 AD. Alexander ruled the empire
     wisely and well, but was strongly influenced by his mother, Julia
     Mamaea. This was greatly resented by the army, and along with
     their perception of Alexander as unwarlike, caused the troops
     under Maximinus to rise against him, murdering both Alexander and
     his mother in their camp near Mainz in 235. The obverse of this
     piece features a magnificent HIGH RELIEF laureate and draped bust
     of Severus Alexander facing right, with legends
     IMP.C.M.AVR.SEV.ALEXAND.AVG. The reverse depicts Jupiter, naked
     save for cloak behind and over arms, standing front, head left,
     holding thunderbolt and long sceptre, with legends
     P.M.TR.P.II.COS.P.P. Coin grades a super choice EF++, with sharp
     legends and devices all around, much lustre under gorgeous
     original glossy colour, and only very light wear on the highest
     points of the coin. The portrait is exquisite, and is one of the
     nicest portraits of the young Alexander that I have handled.
     Virtually unimprovable! A beautiful museum quality example of the
     type, catalouged as RSC-229. Buyer pays postage/insurance, coin
     shipped on clearance of funds. PA residents please add
     appropriate sales tax. Visa/MC accepted for orders of $20 or
     more. For more ancients, please visit our WWW page at

     HOLIDAYS!

                      Bidding is closed for this item.

If you're the seller or the high bidder - now what?

  1. Contact each other. The seller (praetorian) and the high bidder
     (hank9304) should contact each other within three business days to
     discuss payment and shipping details.

  2. Leave feedback for the other party once the the seller has received
     the payment and the winning bidder has received the item.
     Leave feedback to seller - Leave feedback to bidder.

Details for the seller and high bidder(s):
The seller should contact the winning bidder(s) with information on the
total cost, including shipping, and where to send payment. The winning
bidder(s) must pay the seller directly for the item(s), and it is the
seller's responsibility to fulfill the order when payment terms are met.
The binding contract of the auction is between the winning bidder and the
seller.

If the seller is unable to establish contact with the high bidder within 3
business days, the seller may contact the next highest bidder. Therefore,
if the high bidder does not contact the seller within 3 business days of
the end of the auction, he/she may lose the place as winning bidder, and be
at risk for receiving negative feedback and/or a Non-Paying Bidder warning,
both of which can ultimately lead to suspension from eBay.
