[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 7907883, member: 80952"]I am a big fan of OCRE and this fantastic resource helped me attribute my coins numerous times. As a beginner, I bought coins where the legends were partially visible, I didn't recognize all the portraits, deities for me were hard to distinguish in the first months and the OCRE search engine using parts of the legends was extremely helpful. What I meant is that the 284 entry on OCRE is the only place I have ever seen this coin and it's strange that both the examples I found are fourrees. The coin was in a lot of coins I bought, very cheap but very bad also. 3 of them complete slugs. While attributing the Severus, the only example I found with this combination of legends SEVERVS PIVS AVG / PROVID AVGG was the OCRE example. I am starting to wonder if this coin exists, officially, with this combination of legends. And yes, "luster" is not exactly appropriate for a fourree. My collection has 250 coins (and this number will remain like this for a while, most likely) - I think I have 2 coins with some traces of mint luster, both denarii from Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius.[/QUOTE]
