[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 4291243, member: 31620"]I actively collect from a sub-series of the eastern denarii of Septimius Severus - COS II series that have peculiar shortened forms of the legend. The full legend for the COS II series reads IMP CAE L SEP SEV PERT AVG COS II I have grouped these into 9 separate obverse dies and have recently managed to obtain a couple more examples to add to my collection. I collect as many examples as I can on my limited budget and will take a double die match if I can. My first new coin is in poor shape but is a new reverse type for me for this obverse die. Denarius Obv:– IMP CA L SEP SE-V PER AVG COS II, Laureate head right Rev:– LIBE-R AVG, Liberalitas standing left, holding abacus in right hand, cornucopiae in left [ATTACH=full]1092323[/ATTACH] My only other reverse type for this obverse die is as follows (2 die matched examples) Rev:– FORT REDVC, Fortuna(?) standing left holding cornucopia and sceptre Reference:– BMCRE 364A (Oldroyd Bequest 1946 ex L.A.L.) [ATTACH=full]1092325[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1092324[/ATTACH] My second new coin comes from a different obverse die and is the third reverse type that I have for this obverse die :- Obv:– IMP CA L SE SEV - PER AVG COS II, Laureate head right Rev:– LIBE-R AVG, Liberalitas seated left, holding abacus in right hand, cornucopiae in left [ATTACH=full]1092327[/ATTACH] Rev:– BONA SPES, Spes standing holding flower and lifting skirt. [ATTACH=full]1092329[/ATTACH] Rev:– M-ONET AVG, Moneta standing left, holding scales in right hand, cornucopiae in left. [ATTACH=full]1092330[/ATTACH] My hunt continues... With these, condition is not the key thing to me, their existence is the key thing.[/QUOTE]
