[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2671356, member: 1892"]This one is not_quite the technical equal of the last, although it's a [B]much[/B] better example of the "failure to fill" weakness on the obverse caused by the amount of metal required to fill III on the reverse, which is the basis for the (apparently not as obvious to others as it is to me) argument I put forth in the other thread. I was hoping others would do the intellectual legwork to fill in this blank, and was disappointed.
