<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4207583, member: 19463"]This one matches yours except for one letter but will serve to compare letter for letter. Each die was cut individually so they vary more than modern hubbed dies. This one is from workshop three (gamma before SIS) while yours is shop two (beta before SIS). As these go, yours is reasonably clear except for the C in Crispus which I suspect was damaged when the coin was cleaned too aggressively. Reading these coins takes a little practice. The abbreviations take a bit of practice, too. IVL is short for Julius and NOB C is his title as 'Noble Caesar'. I suggest you look at coins posted by others here and try to match up the letters as best you can. In a little time it will get easier. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1078620[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
