[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 4295727, member: 75937"]The "hole" in the back of the head is the shadow of part of the hairstyle, as is the "hole" in the bust -- that's a shadow of the drapery. I think the RPC coin was simply photographed with very oblique lighting. Look at the flan shape and the relationship of the dotted border to the edge of the flan in both coins. Look at the flan crack on the reverse at the 12:30 position. They are superimposable. The coins weigh the same, too. [ATTACH=full]1093502[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1093503[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
