<p>[QUOTE="Mark Ames, post: 26092009, member: 118715"]My first guess would be Howgego 788, a denominational countermark. However, most of those were on coins only as late as Gordian III, and most on coins slightly smaller than yours. In his catalog, Howgego notes that group 788 may well comprise more than one group... and he includes some even later, e.g., Gallienus. Your coin, I might say, has an especially handsome countermark. Very nice, and very interesting![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
