One coin sold on 02 November 2011 by Dr. Busso Peus Nachfolger, Auction 404, lot 2649, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1124095.

I noticed a reverse die link between two sestertii of Balbinus and Pupienus (reverse without legend break AYC #26, RIC 25) ). The reverse die is different from the coin shown here. Here are the two coins:

Balbinus, coin sold by Bertolami Fine Arts, on 31 May 2011, Auction 3, lot 447: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1020902.
