Congratulation Charles , I remember one of the type was listed at FORVM Coin Shop.

Added * Is the coin tooled at some point ?
Level of the letter is so close to obverse surface.
Or it is just the circulation.

Maybe between 11 and 12 o'clock on the obverse inscription but otherwise I don't see anything.

Thank you Sam.  Indeed, the FORVM shop had a specimen from the same obv. die: see https://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?param=73454q00.jpg&vpar=409&zpg=82881&fld=https://www.forumancientcoins.com/Coins2/

I cannot see any sign of tooling.  I attach a picture of the obv. of my specimen (left), compare with the obverse  of the same die of the specimen from NAC Auction 59 (4 Apr 2011), lot 968 (photo from ACSearch)
