<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1893285, member: 19463"]I suppose it upsets the non ancient people but we do tend to repost the same coins too often. I'll show here my second favorite Carausius which I showed here in January when it arrived as a new purchase. As an excuse I'll show my NP Victorinus from Baltimore which I bought to accompany the Carausius. The Carausius has a PAX AVG reverse but is garbled from being overstruck on a Victorinus with SALVS AVG reverse. Victorinus has more than one pose for Salus and, until Baltimore, I did not have the one facing right holding the snake. I like overstrikes and believe it is good to have an example of the undertype for comparison. Of course they were not the same reverse die (that would require way too much luck to find; these were made from hundreds if not thousands of dies). </p><p>[ATTACH=full]322940[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]322939[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
