IMP CAES GORDIANVS PIVS AVG
LIBIRALITAS AVG II instead of LIBERALITAS AVG II

2 specimens known, the second in a private German collection

curtislclay · « **Reply #180 on:** August 10, 2012, 02:36:15 pm »

Is there a second error too, LIBIRAIITAS, or has the second L in that word simply lost its bottom stroke through die filling or coin wear?

leseullunique · « **Reply #181 on:** August 24, 2012, 01:51:29 am »

Donolli have an other specimen with same die and here is picture

it's simply a lots bottom

Severus Alexander denar

LIBERITAS AVG (instead of LIBERTAS AVG)

This is so rare on early imperial bronzes. I bid on the coin and lost out due to computer lock up, I was so upset. Well here it is: CNG auction

Nero & Drusus Caesar. Died AD 31 and 33, respectively. Æ Dupondius (29mm, 15.36 g, 6h). Rome mint. Struck under Gaius (Caligula), AD 40-41. Nero and Drusus on horseback right / C CAESAR DIVI AVG PRON AVG P M TR P IIII P P P EX, legend around large S C. RIC I 49 var. (rev. legend; Gaius).

Apparently unrecorded with the reverse legend ending P EX.

Here is the inscription normally

Nero & Drusus Caesar. Died AD 31 and 33, respectively. Æ Dupondius (15.64 g, 6h). Rome mint. Struck under Gaius (Caligula), AD 39-40. NERO ET DRVSVS CAESARES, Nero and Drusus on horseback riding right / C. CAESAR. DIVI. AVG. PRON. AVG. P. M. TR. P. III. P. P. around large S. C. RIC I 42 (Gaius); BMCRE p. 156, n. ‡; BN -

HI all

VOLUSIANUS

Great!

Hi everybody.

I have this Probus Antoninianus (below). Unfortunately, I left the coin at my parents' home this summer, so this is the best photo I have.
On the obverse I note a possible error. Instead of PROBVS it looks like PROSVS (?). Does anybody see the same thing?
I know the coin needs to be cleaned (hopefully I will get to it).

Gordian III. antoninianus from Antiochia

Obv.: IMP CAES M NT GORDIANVS AVG instead of IMP CAES M ANT GORDIANVS AVG

Tibsi · « **Reply #188 on:** October 04, 2012, 09:12:47 am »

2nd expamle of Gordian's AEQVITAS AVG! The reverse sides are same. The unique status was lost but they're very rare yet.

mix_val · « **Reply #189 on:** October 19, 2012, 09:10:15 am »

Could not resist this legend error. From the Antioch mint, Severus Alexander, IP not IMP

Tibsi · « **Reply #190 on:** October 19, 2012, 09:14:55 am »

Wow! Great shot!

socalcoins · « **Reply #191 on:** October 21, 2012, 07:16:47 pm »

Vespasian... eastern mint denarius.

Reverse legend reads, ION MAX TR P COT II... should be PON MAX TR P COS II.

AFAIK the type without the error is rarer .

How can you clean the find "patina" without eliminating the toning beneath ?
Thanks in advance.

I haven't seen any Greek there, so here is one:

mine: BAΣIΛEΩΣ / APIAPAΘOY / EYΣBOYΣ
original: BAΣIΛEΩΣ / APIAPAΘOY / EYΣEBOYΣ

Plus there is

instead of usual

as a reign year but it probably isn't a mistake.

Otacilia Severa antoninianus.

This: PIETAS AVGVSTE
Orig.: PIETAS AVGVSTAE

Poor quality but very rare legend error. Rome mint? The last 'T' letter is a little lame.

Your coin looks heavily tooled, though.
