<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orange Julius, post: 4846441, member: 77226&quot;]This coin recently popped up and among all of the usual IOVI CONSERV(variations), this one was a little different. It includes two extra standards in the background. I had not noticed this variation before. </p><p><br /></p><p>Looking it up, it&#039;s rated common but after some hunting for other examples... I found that it&#039;s at least scarce. I was able to find a handful of examples of officina P and T but no pictured examples anywhere of officina S like my coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, anyone out there have one of these? Or know the significance of the extra standards? ...or as always post your IOVI CONSERV(whatever) coins!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1170063[/ATTACH] </p><p>Diocletian.
