<p>[QUOTE=&quot;curtislclay, post: 7326890, member: 89514&quot;]Martin,</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course I collect the SEVER IMP VIII denarii too, and now have 21 examples in my new collection, including a couple of die duplicates. No BONA SPES coin among them, however, nor any from the same obv. die as your new example.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you have BONA SPES also with the standard SEV IMP VIII obv. legend? I lack that coin also, and think I know of only two specimens: Bickford-Smith Coll., presumably now in BM; and the example cited by Cohen without naming a source, 1st ed. (1860) 38 = 2nd ed. (1884) 59.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to the doublestrike, can you tell for sure whether the two images of Spes on the rev. are from the same or from different rev. dies? If from different rev. dies, that would be an interesting Kraay overstrike, which I discussed in my review of Woytek&#039;s Trajan in Num. Chron. 2012.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
