One coin sold the 10/10/2011 by Gorny & Mosch Giessener Münzhandlung, Auction 200, lot 2632, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1105731.

There are three obverse legend breaks: IMP CAES M DID SEV - ER IVLIAN AVG, IMP CAES M DID SE - VER IVLIAN AVG and IMP CAES M DID S - EVER IVLIAN AVG. The coins are listed in order: long obverse legend SEV - ER with the reverse variants: legend breaks and dots. Then the same thing with the obverse break SE - VER ... etc. Dots are often erased by wear and tear, so ranking is difficult. However, I can already exclude the presence of dots if the coin is worn out, when the gap between the letters is too small to write something.
