<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancient Aussie, post: 2489414, member: 80147&quot;]In recent times I purchased a Antoninus Pius Temple coin of Divus Augustus and Livia. RIC 111 1017 AE Dupondius (27mm, 10.58g) from a CNG Auction,</p><p>now this coin I very rarely see at dealers, and having the denarius and the Sestertius I needed it for my collection so sick of waiting I purchased this one now besides the pitting the roughness I am referring to it is the actual amature die cutting that produced the coin back in 159 AD, it is not of the standard we are all used to, it&#039;s like it was rushed or the die cutter didn&#039;t place Augustus&nbsp; and Livia central or started with four columns&nbsp; on one side not spaced properly and ended up spreading the next four out with bigger gaps between. Having said all that it didn&#039;t cost much but not much choice. The first one is my one and after that are a few examples from CNG archives sold in recent years, the second one is a die match for mine that sold for about the same amount. The next two have the last column on the right with a larger gap and a squeezed up Augustus/Livia.&nbsp; I would be interested if anyone else has similar rough temples.
