    Have you guys seen the likes of this before? This a little Nabataean bronze on which two strikes are present: the primary coin, and the edge of another. It makes you wonder if there was a series of strikes made on a strip of metal before it was cut into individual pieces.

    Now I have never seen anything like that. I knew conceivably that they existed but I have never seen one. That is a really, really awesome. Thats PHAT.

    I'm in my tablet, so I can't explain well, but if i recall the best theory we have now is that parallel dies were used for some series. If no one else can help I'll try to dig something up.
