One coin sold the 12/10/2008 by Gorny & Mosch Giessener Münzhandlung, Auction 169, lot 324, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=522636.

There are two obverse legend breaks: IMP CAES M DID SEV - ER IVLIAN AVG, IMP CAES M DID SE - VER IVLIAN AVG et IMP CAES M DID SEVE - RVS IVLIAN AVG. The break of the last legend is to be confirmed (letters missing on the coin seen). The coins are classified in order: long obverse cut SEV - ER with the reverse variants: legend breaks and dots. 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.
