This coin is in rough shape, but the campgate is still exceptional...it has four columns on the front.
Ah, yes, I was one of the underbidders on that one. VERY unhappy that I didn't get it. Was hoping it would go unnoticed. I looked around but couldn't find any other images of a similar one. Do you know of any?

No, I have not seen any like it, that is why, despite the condition, I bid high for it.

I just remembered this example-
That is a nice example! I've noticed that they are in Helvetica's RIC sheets but all are rated as R5.

The footnotes in RIC for Rome 185 state that officina S has four columns, while officina T did not. Bruun noted only one example of each. The coin in discussion in the original post might be from officina Q, which is unlisted, but it is hard to tell from the picture. RIC also lists one example of Rome 186 from officina S with columns.
