<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1861368, member: 19463&quot;]I forgot to mention:&nbsp; I do like the OP coin.&nbsp; Did you note the strange style of the letter A it uses consistently on the reverse?&nbsp; The obverse replaces more than one letter with vertical bars with A an V both II and M more like III.&nbsp;&nbsp; The ties for the radiate crown are exceptionally long and three dotted.&nbsp; A very senior collector I knew years ago was trying to make sense out of the code of the ties and the number /position of the knots/beads on them (this one has three and curves over the neck).&nbsp; He convinced me that there was a pattern but, as far as I know, no one carried that study through to any conclusion.&nbsp; Some experts now tend to write things off as just random variations or whims at the mint.&nbsp; I&#039;m more a conspiracy theorist and believe there was a reason but we don&#039;t understand it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
