[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 5445013, member: 110226"]On Wildwinds I did find a COS III type legend, listed as RIC 322, Cohen 480. The eagle's neck and body seems wider, compared to the coin I posted, but I don't know if that really makes a difference. [IMG]https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/vespasian/RIC_0322.jpg[/IMG] "Vespasian AE As, Rome. AD 69-79. 26 mm, 10.51 g. Struck AD 71. IMP CAES VESPASIAN AVG COS III, laureate head right. S-C, Eagle standing front on globe, head right, wings spread. RIC 322; Cohen 480. With permission of cngcoins.com, auction 223, Lot 423, Dec 2009" Still looking..... Edit - Here's a coin that is much closer, again from Wildwinds. The reverse looks like a die match with my coin: [IMG]https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/vespasian/RIC_1168.jpg[/IMG] "HJB-Vespasian, AS 9.52g, C-482, VF IMP CAES VESPASIAN AVG COS III, laureate head right S-C, eagle standing on globe with wings open, head right. New RIC 1168; Cohen 480."[/QUOTE]
