<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2848436, member: 19463"]Often it helps to take two photos with the top of the undertype right side up on one. This first seems harder because the original obverse was overstruck by the new reverse. This one allows ID of the two rulers, two mints, two workshops and two dates. Rather than giving answers, I'll leave these as practice subjects for anyone interested in learning to decipher messes like this. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]675517[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes it helps when the two coins involved have very different elements. Here the obverses include a single bust and a pair. The reverse has one large M and one XXXX. It does not have all the mints and dates as i would prefer but it has a feature obverse far left that appears to be TIb. What are those letters?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]675521[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
