<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orielensis, post: 7814996, member: 96898&quot;]I&#039;m very glad that you won this coin, [USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER]! Now both known examples reside in the CT community, and the second one even with a true specialist. And that&#039;s great work on the obverse die match, [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER] !</p><p><br /></p><p>It would be fascinating to see whether our coins show any reverse die matches with coins without the veiled bust. If so, that might be an indicator that an obverse die with a veiled bust somehow slipped into the die box used for the RIC 1179 issue.</p><p><br /></p><p>I began searching for reverse matches, but haven&#039;t found anything yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is mine again:</p><p><font size="3">[ATTACH=full]1343297[/ATTACH] </font></p><p><font size="3">Faustina “the Elder” (postumous), Roman Empire, As or Dupondius, Rome mint.
