<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nicholasz219, post: 2967707, member: 75641&quot;]Hello All,</p><p><br /></p><p>In the interest of making myself crazy, I bought a badly worn Septimius Severus Provincial piece and decided I would figure it out.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]727518[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I saw no matches of any sort on Wildwinds.&nbsp; I then did an acsearch and found what appears to be a close match in terms of content, even if the certain devices are wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2660091" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2660091" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2660091</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Gorny and Mosch Giessener Auction 233, Lot 1866, 10/6/2015.&nbsp; The example from acsearch is with an eagle right, head left where mine is eagle left, head right, with wreath in beak in both.&nbsp; The ACS example has the eagle standing on a palm frond it appears (with my limited knowledge of fronds) whereas mine is standing on a thunderbolt.&nbsp; I have seen issues of Nikopolis ad Istrum with eagles standing on lightning bolts which gives me hope that this issue comes from there.</p><p><br /></p><p>In addition, CEVHPOC Pi (EP) is clearly legible on the obverse of my coin.&nbsp; On the reverse, the coin is either clipped or worn down in places.&nbsp; But I can clearly make out what appears to be GALLOY NIKOPi from about 10am to 5pm on the reverse.&nbsp; Which leads me to think that the magistrate was Gallus in Nikopolis.&nbsp; Of course I am running into the road block of not finding this coin on my two most used sites, WW and ACS.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone have any information on this coin type that they can share with me?&nbsp; Reference number would be great.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks everyone!</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have been jonesing to post Severan or eagle coins for some reason and have not, feel free to dump them off here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
