<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2798404, member: 19463&quot;]My Tranquillina follows my pattern of oddball coins that no one else wants.&nbsp; </p><p>It is a different reverse from Deultum like the one Ed showed and I quote below.&nbsp; The reverse is Orpheus standing and not special.&nbsp; The reason I wanted it was the error on the obverse.&nbsp; Can anyone see it?&nbsp; Have you seen another similar error?[ATTACH=full]651725[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Deultum was a full colony and entitled to issue coins with Latin Legends.&nbsp; Ed&#039;s coin reads&nbsp; SAB TRANQVILLINA AVG in Latin just as it should.&nbsp; Mine reads SAB TRANQVILLINA <b>SEB</b>.&nbsp; SEB abbreviates Sebasta the Greek word for Augusta which in Greek letters is written CEB.&nbsp;&nbsp; They used the Greek title and transliterated it into Latin letters. I can&#039;t help thinking the error was partially assisted by the first part of the name being similar.&nbsp; I call this my SAB-SEB coin.&nbsp; Remember the words of a wise numismatist: In ancient coins, rarity is common.&nbsp;&nbsp; This may be a rare survivor from this unusual obverse die but there are so many oddities at least this level that most people simply do not care.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
