[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 4535544, member: 31620"]By my definition I don't consider two coins of the same type from different mints to be duplicates. I bought this coin first but a full attribution was not possible due to the off-centre reverse strike. [B]Septimius Severus denarius[/B] Obv:– IMP CAE L SEP SEV PERT AVG COS II, Laureate head right Rev:– MONET AVG, Moneta seated left, holding scales and cornucopiae Minted in Emesa, A.D. 194 - 195 References:– RIC -, RSC - [IMG]https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064az_img.jpg[/IMG] Some years later I managed to obtain the following coin from the same die pair that allows a complete attribution. I didn't need to own the coin to confirm the attribution but it was a great justification to have to buy it. [IMG]https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064jp_img.jpg[/IMG] Somehow I can't bring myself to part with either. Finding coins with die links to these is just another facet of the way that I collect. [IMG]https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064ph_img.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
