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)

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