Something for Bing, Stamp Impressions of the Legio X Fretensis

I saw an interesting paper that I thought our Legion guy @Bing might like:
Stamp Impressions of the Legio X Fretensis. In: H. Geva, Jewish Quarter Excavations in the Old City of Jerusalem, Vol. II: The Finds from Areas A, W and X-2, Final Report. Jerusalem 2003: 405-422. The paper talks about some items with stamps left by Leg X. Dose anyone here have items with this type impression? I have seen a few in auctions, but I do not follow that kind of item.

I have a couple of Leg denarii. I can read the number of only one.

Bing is the legion dude here for sure esp. on MA coinage.

 

I have none of the stamps, but I find it very interesting.

 

From the same author:
The Camp of the Tenth Legion in Jerusalem: An Archaeological Reconsideration. IEJ 34 (1984): 239-254.
Wonderful paper!
