<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1866458, member: 19463&quot;]I agree there is no cornucopia.&nbsp; Now I need to find other coins of this die to see what is going on.&nbsp; Worn?&nbsp; Tooled???&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Correct.&nbsp; CNG called their drachm a hemidrachm but I thought someone would pick up on my coin at just under 13g. being a hemidrachm rather than a drachm as advertised.&nbsp; It struck me as small when I opened the package and more so when I got out my Hadrian drachm.&nbsp; I suppose &#039;small&#039; is not what you usually call a 28-29mm coin but drachms are usually in the low 30&#039;s and thicker.&nbsp;&nbsp; I did not pick up on it from a photo because the coins look a lot alike when both are blown up to the size of a saucer.&nbsp; In hand, the difference is more obvious.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Hemidrachms are harder to find online so the chance of finding my die match is lower.&nbsp; Emmett lists the drachm as rarity 1 common but the hemi is a 3 (scarce).&nbsp; One thing you notice looking over Emmett is how many coins are listed as 5 (rarest).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
