<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1699463, member: 19463"]Common issues have dozens to hundreds of dies to make the coins and each is an individual effort rather than a mechanical duplication. It can take a lot of looking to find two coins from the same dies. I do not see anything about these that would warrant a separate cataloging. Condition makes it hard to confirm all the letters of the legend but I believe the original intent was a matching coin set. Mine is below and still different/the same.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]258973.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The British Museum has 18 more posted:</p><p><a href="http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/publications/online_research_catalogues/catalogue_image.aspx?objectId=1152175&partId=1&searchText=FONTEIUS+goat&orig=%2fresearch%2fpublications%2fonline_research_catalogues%2frussian_icons%2fcatalogue_of_russian_icons.aspx&sortBy=catNumber&numPages=12&currentPage=1&catalogueOnly=True&catparentPageId=29126&output=bibliography%2f!!%2fOR%2f!!%2f6738%2f!%2f%2f!%2fA+catalogue+of+the+Roman+Republican+Coins+in+the+British+Museum%2c+with+descriptions+and+chronology+based+on+M.H.+Crawford%2c+Roman+Republican+Coinage+(1974)%2f!%2f%2f!!%2f%2f!!!%2f&asset_id=621998" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/publications/online_research_catalogues/catalogue_image.aspx?objectId=1152175&partId=1&searchText=FONTEIUS+goat&orig=%2fresearch%2fpublications%2fonline_research_catalogues%2frussian_icons%2fcatalogue_of_russian_icons.aspx&sortBy=catNumber&numPages=12&currentPage=1&catalogueOnly=True&catparentPageId=29126&output=bibliography%2f!!%2fOR%2f!!%2f6738%2f!%2f%2f!%2fA+catalogue+of+the+Roman+Republican+Coins+in+the+British+Museum%2c+with+descriptions+and+chronology+based+on+M.H.+Crawford%2c+Roman+Republican+Coinage+(1974)%2f!%2f%2f!!%2f%2f!!!%2f&asset_id=621998" rel="nofollow">http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/publications/online_research_catalogues/catalogue_image.aspx?objectId=1152175&partId=1&searchText=FONTEIUS+goat&orig=%2fresearch%2fpublications%2fonline_research_catalogues%2frussian_icons%2fcatalogue_of_russian_icons.aspx&sortBy=catNumber&numPages=12&currentPage=1&catalogueOnly=True&catparentPageId=29126&output=bibliography%2f!!%2fOR%2f!!%2f6738%2f!%2f%2f!%2fA+catalogue+of+the+Roman+Republican+Coins+in+the+British+Museum%2c+with+descriptions+and+chronology+based+on+M.H.+Crawford%2c+Roman+Republican+Coinage+(1974)%2f!%2f%2f!!%2f%2f!!!%2f&asset_id=621998</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
