[QUOTE="jeankay, post: 405796, member: 12159"]Thank you Drusus. This is a tough one. The coin, in the pictures you so kindly posted for me, is dissimilar in several devices in on its weaker reverse. Is it possible different mints produced the same basic image? My coin has a strong reverse and weak obverse so I know there will be wear differences. The web coin rev figure seems as if it is facing left, yet on my coin the head appears to have a helmet-head. The motto letters on my coin seem to have longer serifs on most of the letters, and the S of cos on the web coin appears to have an equally separated top and bottom shape. My coin has a longer and lower bottom. The indentification of my coin is getting quite complicated and may be in need of furthur research. I have always said to myself that not everyone who is collecting these coins could possibly have seen every single coin minted. I guess I will have to make up my mind about this someday. Do you think this is the same mint design? jeankay[/QUOTE]
