here is a new error for you.

arrived about 1 year's ago in my collection, this coin is the 4th specimen actually known with this obverse legend, 2 obverse dies ares known with this mistake and each obverse die is known for 2 coins of the same type.

the first obverse die is know by 2 specimens and they are both in museums, the obverse legend is PAX AVGVSTI, the 2 coins are in the British Museum and in the Ashmolean museum.

Here is the second type: CONCORDIA AVG

My coin, slightly overstruck at the obverse

IMP CAE M ANT GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG
CONCORDIA AVG

the coin of the same obverse die from the British Museum, (thanks to Mr Abdy and Bland for the picture)

IMP CAE M ANT GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG (même coin d'avers)

Gordianus III. anto:

Rev: LIBER LITAS AVG III (instead of LIBERALITAS)

Diederik · « **Reply #134 on:** August 20, 2011, 01:39:39 pm »

Could it be read as:'LIBERALTAS"?

Frans

Tibsi · « **Reply #135 on:** August 20, 2011, 02:45:40 pm »

The LIBER and TAS letters are clean-cut but the L (A or L?) and I (I or T?) aren't...

so you are the winer... I tryed to bid on this coin but I was to low... congratulation!

with your new picture, I think it's an A.

thanks for sharing and once again, congratulation!

Tibsi · « **Reply #137 on:** August 21, 2011, 05:09:29 am »

I'm staying to 'L'.
There are two examples for interesting style of 'L' on Gordian antos:

leseullunique · « **Reply #138 on:** August 21, 2011, 02:29:11 pm »

thanks for sharing the picture, of course with this new information, the L seems to be the best possibility...

once again, congratulation

Tibsi · « **Reply #139 on:** August 21, 2011, 02:36:14 pm »

Did you get already the Gordian anto with LIBERATAS... legend? If yes please share a better picture about it!

leseullunique · « **Reply #140 on:** August 21, 2011, 02:52:15 pm »

Yes I get it, I will do the picture tomorrow (because too late this evening) and load it.
