<p>[QUOTE="thejewk, post: 3787839, member: 100136"]Hmm now you have me worried. I don't thinks so, as there seems to be two different styles of the reverse. You coin has the superior style reverse by far, whereas there are a number of coins pictured online that look like mine, with Britannia sitting in a more upright position and looking a little chunkier. The impression is also exacerbated by the fact that my coin is on an oval flan and I am missing the right of the image and all of the legend on the right, corresponding on the obverse to the top of AP's head. When I look under magnification I can't find any obvious marks, but I am certainly not an expert and could be completely wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please share your thoughts.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: looking again, my reverse looks like the one commonly seen on the dupondius rather than the as, I think. Have a look at Sear 4266 on Wildwinds and see what you think. I can't see on my example any definitive trace of either a laureate or radiate headpiece due to the corrosion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
