<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2042292, member: 19463&quot;]The mail carrier graced me again today with a new coin but I have not yet decided if it is what I hoped it was or just an ugly denarius worth about what I paid.&nbsp; In either event, few people would buy it because of how ugly it is in tone (uneven) and with damage on both sides.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have discussed the Stannard scoop weight adjusted coins before here (part of the &#039;al marco&#039; weight system) so I&#039;ll leave that for anyone to research on CT or elsewhere.&nbsp; I had said before that a high want of mine is a coin that had a separate scoop removed from each side of the coin rather than the weakness on one side just being the result of thin metal not filling the flan.&nbsp; This one may be a two sider.&nbsp; It is harder to tell because there is a banker&#039;s mark centered in the reverse low spot that created a dome on low part of the obverse scooped area.&nbsp; My photo is not terribly clear on the reverse so it is not fair to ask for diagnoses based on the photos.&nbsp; The coin will require more study but I am still in the market for one that I am sure was scooped twice.&nbsp; I&#039;m hopeful but will need to look at the coin several more times and solicit opinions when I go to shows before I decide whether I believe in this coin or not.&nbsp;&nbsp; The T&#039;s show the top of the two sides.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]373066[/ATTACH] </p><p>This is a normal, unscooped Bursio with different letters and minor device.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]373063[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>These are assorted single scooped coins.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]373062[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]373064[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]373065[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
