<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numisnewbiest, post: 3248322, member: 99613&quot;]This is a pretty basic question from a newbie, but it&#039;s bugged me for long enough: why are legends on some ancient coins so nicely done, very even, well-spaced, and aligned, while on others (like my Julia Domna coin) they look like whoever did them was late for something else?</p><p><br /></p><p>The portrait on my coin is so beautifully done and so lifelike, and then the legend looks so sloppy - surely this isn&#039;t the work of the same artist who did the portrait, is it? Is it known just how ancient coin dies were made?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]851712[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
