<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2583138, member: 56859&quot;]Well darn, I just bought Howgego&#039;s book on countermarks but I won&#039;t have it in hand until later this month.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>To me, it looks like there isn&#039;t another character after the V, so the entire c/m is LXV.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, searching online turned up another LXV countermark.&nbsp; Here&#039;s the link to the coin in a gallery of Forvm member &quot;Automan&quot;:</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-10209" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-10209" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-10209</a></p><p><br /></p><p>He says that countermark LXV is Howgego #739 and that it &quot;refers to the 15th legion (&quot;Apollinaris), although Howgego notes that dating is complicated, as is ascertaining where it was applied...&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, I haven&#039;t looked in the book myself but if this user has accurately recorded the information, Howgego asserts that it is a countermark of the 15th legion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
