<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3248433, member: 19463"]That is a fact. When going through a bag of a thousand denarii, the die matches that jump out are the ones with a very distinctive feature. Below is an obverse die of Septimius Severus woth a very weak nose which made it stand out and allowed me to recognize the six reverses I have using it. I suspect you could do something similar with many dies but it sure helps to have a distinctive difference.</p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/die03.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
