<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2420152, member: 19463"]I really agree with this. An example is the somewhat more rare Legionary denarius of Septimius Severus for LEG XXII PRI which I was always told all came from one obverse and two reverse dies. Recently there have been coins of another dieset showing up which are all better centered than the old group. I would have severe doubts about the coins were it not for the fact that the new obverse is a die I have seen used with another legion reverse. Still, I would feel a lot better about the new coins if we had a coin using one of the new dies with one of the old dies or even examples that shared the characteristic dumpy fabric of the old dies examples that usually made coins with scanty legends. I don't have a new one but you can pick out the two old reverses from my group below that all share the same obverse. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]501316[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]501317[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]501318[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]501319[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
