<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 7836276, member: 19463"]It most certainly should. If there were two dies with the same dots, I might question the 'unfinished' theory but your explanation of the matter seems much better than just a good theory. Now you need a die duplicate to display as a pair with this one. I would expect the dots to weaken as the die wore from use. Is the a die match with no trace of dots but that seem to be fresher than yours? That would suggest that the dots were added after the die started working rather than showing the incomplete theory. Fascinating coin![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
