<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3340575, member: 19463&quot;]I&#039;m confused.&nbsp; The only Septimius Severus on this thread is a flipover doublestrike with all the doubling you can get.&nbsp; Below is another &#039;Confused&#039; Septimius (Fortuna reverse) flipover which I am sufficiently unsure of my beliefs that I&#039;m not posting them.&nbsp; You can say what you think happened to make this coin the way it is but I won&#039;t be able to say right or wrong since I really don&#039;t know.&nbsp; I find this coin especially interesting because the part of the obverse legend that is weak/missing (VIII) is the part that is strong on the reverse.</p><p>L SEPT SEV PERT&nbsp;&nbsp; AVG IMP VIII / PM TRP V&nbsp; COS II PP</p><p>[ATTACH=full]884621[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>It has been a while since I last posted my favorite error coin of the flipover family.&nbsp; This Magnentius was first struck with the preceeding coin stick in the obverse die making it a reverse brockage with one reverse the incuse of the other.&nbsp; Then it was flipped over and put back in the die and restruck normally putting an obverse over the first normal reverse and a normal reverse over the incuse reverse strike.&nbsp; I apologize to those who have seen this more times than they can tolerate but it is definitely among my top ten all time favorite coins (errors and normal).&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]884630[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
