<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 7652915, member: 97383&quot;]Jochen, Thanks for another interesting article <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! You&#039;re right about the provincial mints making so many errors on the inscriptions, especially the smaller outpost mints. The larger provincial mints like Alexandria &amp; Antioch, Syria made fewer mistakes considering their huge output. I&#039;ve posted the coin pictured below in the past but will post again for your thread.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1315713[/ATTACH] </p><p>The die cutter didn&#039;t space the obverse inscription correctly, so he improvised the last two letters of <b>AVG</b> on a much smaller scale to complete the inscription.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1315714[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
