One coin sold the 09/05/2017 by Agora Auctions, Sale 66, lot 219, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3772627. It is impossible to know what is above the banner of the left. The one on the right does not seem to be surmounted by anything.

There are two obverse legend breaks: IMP CAES M DID SEV - ER IVLIAN AVG and IMP CAES M DID SE - VER IVLIAN AVG. For the reverse, there are variants with the eagle turned to the right, two eagles... The coins are classified in order: long obverse cut SEV - ER with the reverse variants: legend breaks, dots and orientation or number of eagles. Then the same with the short obverse break: SE - VER. Dots are often erased by wear, so ranking is difficult. However, I can already exclude the presence of dots when the coin is worn out, when the gap between the letters is too small to write something.

It is difficult to know if one or more eagles are present on the reverse on this too worn coin, nor to know the orientation of this or these eagles. I have noted the description of the reverse that is most often encountered: a single eagle turned to the left.
