<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3094721, member: 19463&quot;]Clashed coins come in many degrees from barely noticeable to extremely bold.&nbsp; The Julia Domna second below is rather weak but becomes special when compared to the coin above it which shows no clash.&nbsp; The obvious explanation is that the clash damaged the die after the first was struck and before the second.&nbsp; I have to hold open the possibility that the top coin was struck long afterward and die wear had erased the damage but the first theory seems more likely.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]781741[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]781742[/ATTACH] </p><p>&nbsp; Easiest to see here is the incuse from the drapery at the back of the neck just right of Venus&#039; legs and the faint profile of the face left of the column.&nbsp; The reverse of the second coin is slightly doublestruck at the left making the whole thing a bit confused.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
