Bought this trio of ancients of the non floor session. The toning/iridescence of the Pius and Severus is outstanding, while I liked the Persis drachm design work and helmet and scar on cheek.
Septimius Severus (AD 193-211). AR denarius (3.66 gm). Rome, AD 193-194. Laureate head of Severus right / Victory advancing left, holding wreath and palm. RIC 22. RSC 682. Gold-iridescent toning. NGC Choice MS 4/5 - 5/5.
Antoninus Pius (AD 138-161). AR denarius (3.31 gm). Rome, AD 147-148. Laureate head of Antoninus right / Annona standing left, holding grain ears over modius and anchor. RIC 163. Deeply struck in high relief, with gorgeous deep iridescent toning NGC AU 5/5 - 4/5.
PERSIC KINGDOM. Uncertain King I (ca. late 2nd century AD). AR drachm (4.05 gm). Head right, wearing diadem and satrapal cap surmounted by eagle; scar on cheek / Fire temple with reverse-gabled architrave, Ahura-Mazda above; on left, king standing right, raising arms in worship; to right, standard surmounted by eagle. Cf. Sunrise 579 (no rosette in field, scar on cheek). Cf. Alram NB 1 (same). Boldly struck on excellent metal. NGC MS 5/5 - 5/5.

The Persis king is a good buy. Great detail, great silver. Would love to grab any one of these coins, much less all three.
