<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 8154398, member: 24091&quot;]Read David Vagi&#039;s recent article about coins of the Bosporos in the Numismatist recently and found it fascinating.&nbsp; Was on page 118 of this month&#039;s issue.&nbsp; It included a photograph of the coin below.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>After poking around on Coin Archives, I found another example.&nbsp; Looks like the same dies to me, one obverse a bit better struck than the other.&nbsp; What are the chances of two mint state examples surviving 2,400 years struck from the same dies?&nbsp; Additionally, I didn&#039;t see any circulated or lesser examples, though Coin Archives alone is not a tool to rule out the existence of others.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Provenance all aside, seems kind of unusual.&nbsp; Or do the rest of you think they are struck from similar but still different dies?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1422705[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1422706[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
