[QUOTE="seth77, post: 2883382, member: 56653"]I'd be very weary whenever someone calls a coin "unique," especially when this description comes from a dealer. Take the Vcoins denarius of Gallienus. How can you be sure that the obverse die did not clog up at some point early in its usage? The fact that the two dies were carved by different celators is also apparent. And if it is a mistake in the die, how rare are these mistakes in roman coins?[/QUOTE]
