Title: Severus II SALVIS AVGG ET CAESS FEL KART from Carthage

I have been patiently waiting for this coin and it did not disappoint. It has full borders, though a bit touch and go on the obverse at bottom. The reverse is amazing-- the silvering has toned within the beaded border and makes a stunning contrast...it reminds me of cameos. The obverse has the same effect; but the reverse looks the best.

Beautiful toning - it's cool the way the toning is contained inside the border.

Beautiful coin Victor, the silvering is fantastic and it's a nice portrait too.
