<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 8276281, member: 26430&quot;]I would say your countermark NE is <a href="https://imgur.com/a/Rwlbo4j" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imgur.com/a/Rwlbo4j" rel="nofollow">Howgego 552 (p. 213 &amp; pl. 21)</a> [link to excerpt and illustration]. He describes it as a countermark in the name of Nero.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are also NE countermarks described in Werz (2009), potentially also Nero&#039;s, but I don&#039;t know if they are the same as yours. (Doesn&#039;t seem like he cites Howgego 552.) Werz 134 (pp. 492-493, that&#039;s just a small snippet below) is illustrated as having a rectangular incuse, though, instead of oval/circular? That&#039;s just the text, though, I didn&#039;t check his plates. (I also didn&#039;t check the rest of the volume [886 pages in part II alone!], so there may be other NE types described.)</p><p><br /></p><p>In general, I usually consider Werz a good starting point for countermarks on Roman Imperial types that aren&#039;t in Howgego (but also some Roman Provincials on some occasions).</p><p><br /></p><p>For the links to Werz&#039;s documents (based on his dissertation, and a larger research project at Goethe University, Frankfurt), see my comment above on Doug&#039;s Claudius As with AD countermark: <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-countermark-collectors-kind-of-thread-stamps-helping-stamps.394780/#post-8274940" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-countermark-collectors-kind-of-thread-stamps-helping-stamps.394780/#post-8274940">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-countermark-collectors-kind-of-thread-stamps-helping-stamps.394780/#post-8274940</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the snippet from 492, but it goes on a bit long.
