<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 3094577, member: 74282&quot;]I&#039;ve been collecting photos and studying dies, particularly of the issues before the time of the Social War, almost as long as I&#039;ve been collecting the Roman Republic, so probably half or more of my coins I&#039;ve found die matches for but here are a couple of my favorites:</p><p><br /></p><p>Cr. 106/1 &quot;Staff&quot; victoriatus - obverse die match to <a href="http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10422979d" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10422979d" rel="nofollow">the BnF Paris example</a> pictured below, (which is also the Crawford plate coin). I have found photos of 13 examples and have yet to find a reverse die match, and when I submitted this coin the reverse die was also a new one in Richard Schaefer&#039;s Republican Die Project</p><p>[ATTACH=full]781649[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]781650[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>My Cr. 90/2 anonymous victoriatus. Double die match to NAC 70 lot 14(Student Mentor Collection) and obverse die match to plate VI, 190 in &quot;An Early Hoard of Victoriati&quot; published in NC 1970 and now in the British Museum. Always exciting to find a die match to a coin with known hoard provenance.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]781651[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]781652[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]781653[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
