<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2791842, member: 19463&quot;]Excellent coins!&nbsp; Mine are the same but very different which is something I love about ancients.&nbsp; They can be much more individual than the machine made modern issues.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]648713[/ATTACH] </p><p>My Arados was struck on a similar oval flan but oriented differently.&nbsp; I got no water on the flan at all.&nbsp; Was one or the other of our coins an accident or did they jut slap the blanks down randomly so you get what chance dictated?</p><p><br /></p><p>My first Istros shows the variation with the inverted head on the right rather than the left.&nbsp; I hope everyone realizes that turning the coin upside down will not make this difference.&nbsp; Why are some one way and some the other?&nbsp; I have no idea.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]648714[/ATTACH] </p><p>My second one is back to the obverse like the OP coin (but not as good style) but shows the reverse design facing right while most are found facing left.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; I know nothing!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]648715[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
