<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 3588977, member: 98035&quot;]I&#039;m the proud owner of a few die-matched Indo Sassanians. Curiously, even among very rare types, die matches are uncommon if not nonexistent, indicating that regardless of how many were originally produced, the majority of these coins were regularly recoined. I&#039;ll need to double check, but I don&#039;t think Maheshwari noted a single die-matched pair in his study of nearly 2,000 of these coins; even among coins from the same hoard of a homogenous type.</p><p><br /></p><p>Die match 1:</p><p>Overse die match; not sure of reverse</p><p>Same hoard (Same seller, same day)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]958774[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]958775[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Die match 2:</p><p>Double match</p><p>Possibly same hoard (different sellers, two months apart)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]958776[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]958778[/ATTACH] </p><p>(I think [USER=90248]@Spaniard[/USER] has one of these too - curious to know if his is also a match!)</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a couple that are die matched to examples in Maheshwari&#039;s book; however I haven&#039;t taken side by sides yet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
