<p>[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 2217381, member: 44316"]Doug, on the obverse an eagle with wings partly spread eating a hare in its talons is expected. I think I see modern carving outlining the back, legs, and tail of the eagle, as well as some of the hare. The eagle's head never had much relief and seems to be slightly outlined in the wrong position by light engraving. So, in my opinion, well over half the detail in that one side is not original. </p><p><br /></p><p>Others can comment on the other side.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
