<p>[QUOTE=&quot;curtislclay, post: 8452132, member: 89514&quot;]You say &quot;CNG&#039;s pictures&quot;, allowing me to find your coin in CNG E478, 7 Oct. 2020, lot 527.</p><p><br /></p><p>The CNG description says &quot;From the Benito Collection&quot;. So your coin is obviously the identical specimen without the L in rev. legend that Benito showed us in Forum in April 2011, and that I wrote into my copy of Göbl on Valerian etc. on the basis of Benito&#039;s post.</p><p><br /></p><p>Though noting the error in Forum, maybe Benito didn&#039;t write it down on his ticket, since CNG&#039;s description overlooks the legend error. Such a mistake is indeed easy to overlook! I know of no other specimens than yours, but that doesn&#039;t mean much since I have never particularly collected or studied the coinage of Macrianus and Quietus. It wouldn&#039;t be surprising if other examples turn up, on the market or lying recognized or unrecognized it some private or public collection. I would explain it simply as &quot;engraver&#039;s error: one letter omitted from rev. legend&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
