<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2462410, member: 19463&quot;]Something I had not noticed before: The reverse legend starts at a different point on each of the three coins shown (all different dies).&nbsp; My coin and the Seaby RSC plate coin have the MN at the bottom (6 o&#039;clock) and the D at the top (12 o&#039;clock).&nbsp; Volodya&#039;s has them at 10 and 4.&nbsp; Carthago&#039;s is 11 and 5.&nbsp; The fact that my coin matched the book I looked at first probably made me think they were all that way.&nbsp; Wrong!&nbsp; Banti shows 19 examples with several too low grade to tell but certainly showing mine is most common but there are several others.&nbsp; It seems the die cutter paid no attention to &#039;up&#039; when cutting this reverse.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My apology to those who see no interest in such minor trivia but my hobby (not the devil) is in the details.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
