<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blake Davis, post: 26029355, member: 91820&quot;]Yes indeed - I search for these constantly and in the last few years have managed to find four - the two Salus types on Spanish eBay of which I foolishly sold one, your coin, and just now the Profectio.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I just purchased a truly bizarre Septimius sestertius - IMP VIII - Victory with reverse inscription PMTRP…ADVENTVIAVG</p><p><br /></p><p>RIC lists a walking Victory for IMP VII but not for IMP VIII - I don’t know what to make of the coin - there is no indication whatsoever other than that this is what it appears to be - it is clearly not an error coin. I spent a lot of time yesterday searching for a similar type but no luck.&nbsp; I have had similar episodes with coins I think are unique and it always turns out not to be the case or there is another explanation such as the Victory IMP X.&nbsp; But I am hopeful that this may be the rarest of finds - something no one has seen before. Maybe not a new type but a new inscription and a new type for IMP VIII. I’ll post it the minute it comes in.&nbsp; As I said this has happened before and it always turns out to be a false alarm or a known type that RIC doesn’t have - or a barbarian or Thracian imitation as happened once.&nbsp;&nbsp; I searched and searched but could not find it for IMP VIII.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
