I. 5 of issue 2 (hair on head still short; he cites Feuardent, 20.April 1896, Montagu, 535), and, featuring the same reverse die, obverse dies Nr. I. 8-11 of issue 3 (hair on head long, he cites BMC 5, pl. 80,9; Hirsch 8, 1903, 2611; Rollin-Feuardent, 21.May 1889, 473; Hirsch 18, 1907, 1167). Also dies II.12 (short hair on head; Vienna 15918) and 13 (long hair on head, Münzhandlung Basel 3, 1935, 729 - Waldeck collection and C.L.Clay collection).</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is another one, recently sold by CGB.fr on their online shop for 1.250 €:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]716261[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Clay cites seven obverse dies with a cuirassed only (not draped) portrait, but none of those combined with a&nbsp; LIBERALITAS AVG reverse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
