<p>[QUOTE=&quot;curtislclay, post: 5289875, member: 89514&quot;]Known to me by 1972: 7 dupondii of this type, from one obv. and two rev. dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>Doug&#039;s two specimens show that one obv. die and both of the reverses. Mike&#039;s is from the same obv. die, as he notes, and probably one of the same rev. dies, though I can&#039;t tell which one without having a plaster cast for close comparison of the details. The low number of specimens and dies known shows that this is not a common coin!</p><p><br /></p><p>Number of dupondius and As obv. dies known to me by 1972 for Septimius between 193 and early 198:</p><p><br /></p><p>IMP: 6 dup., 8 As</p><p>IMP II: no dup., 13 As</p><p>IMP III: 2 dup., no As</p><p>IMP IIII: 4 dup., 29 As</p><p>IMP V: 3 dup., no As</p><p>IMP VI: not certainly attested in any denomination</p><p>IMP VII: 1 dup., 21 As</p><p>IMP VIII: 2 dup., 5 As</p><p>IMP VIIII: no dup., no As</p><p>IMP X: no dup., 5 As.</p><p><br /></p><p>Total: 18 dup. obv. dies, 71 As obv. dies. Note however that the total is 18 obv. dies in each denomination if we subtract the three New Year&#039;s issues of asses, which consumed 13 obv. dies in Dec.-Jan. 194, 29 in Dec.-Jan. 195, and 21 in Dec.-Jan. 196. The only As obv. dies that were apparently not produced for the three New Year&#039;s issues: IMP 8 dies, IMP VIII 5 dies, IMP X 5 dies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
