<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael W. Bradley, post: 4836535, member: 114144&quot;]Thank you, gentlemen (I hope that is correct) for your reply. Honestly, I hate to say this, but I think you may both be right. Yes, I believe the Reverse has Latin characters. But in the Obverse at around 7 to 8 o&#039;clock, at least to me, has the same sort of squiggly lines. I Googled &quot;Punic Alphabet&quot; but can&#039;t say that I could transliterate something like: &quot;Claudius&quot;? Other than I can say that what I see appears to be, as I said two weird sort of double &quot;j&quot; characters. That would, IF I am right, raise another question then whether or not the ancient mint would have ever used a Punic Die for Obverse and Latin for Reverse. I suppose there is also a third possibility of a fake. I should also say that my eyesight is not that great. My photograph is pretty dismal and the next time I unseal it I&#039;ll take another look at it.</p><p>Thanks again. PS: The actual line is: &quot;Captain, have you seen this letterin&#039;&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
