From the Gemini IV Auction, Closed January 8, 2008.
 Lot # 460  Realized: US$200 

Gordian III, Lot of 2 Rome-mint antoniniani with legend errors. 
(238-244 AD). 2 silver antoniniani (4.48 and 4.98 gm). Rome, 239-240 
AD. Both coins have obverse legend IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG and 
belong to the end of the same issue that lasted from early in 239 
until early in 240. Both show engraving errors, namely the omission 
of one or two letters from the reverse legend. The first coin has 
LIBERATAS AVG III instead of LIBERALITAS AVG III (LI omitted from 
LIBERALITAS), RIC 67 variety, no specimen with this error recorded 
in RIC. The second has ROMAE AETERNE instead of ROMAE AETERNAE (the 
second A omitted from AETERNAE), RIC 70 variety, a footnote records 
this error from our identical specimen, ex Trau Sale, lot 2644 
(misprinted 2649 in RIC). Both coins seem to be the only recorded 
specimens with these errors. TWO COINS IN LOT. Good very fine.
