[QUOTE="Alegandron, post: 4421184, member: 51347"]I was trying to see if you shared the same dies with [USER=84744]@Severus Alexander[/USER] , and to determine if yours was an earlier strike as the Die was breaking down. Not sure. Several similarities, but unless both are in my hand, I am not gonna guess. But, both are VERY cool. Here are a couple of my Die-Breaks, that when others post their coin, looks as though they are variants of the die break. These probly did not have too many Dies. [B]ETRURIA[/B] This one is probly late in this Die's minting. Larger break and stretch-marks (yeah, I know everyone has to say "flow" marks, but the die is being stretched from long usage).

I have seen this die break on other examples of this coin. This Die-Break adds more to this macabre Metus obverse. Fun.
