<p>[QUOTE=&quot;philologus_1, post: 3559886, member: 92212&quot;]Nice examples posted here!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Below is my contribution of two coins.&nbsp; Both are of the same quite common type. Yet it is because of that fact that it is surprising I was able to acquire a <u>double</u> die matched pair.</p><p><br /></p><p>It seems that the more worn &quot;Example 1&quot; was actually struck by the dies when they were newer than when &quot;Example 2&quot; was struck. This is most obvious by the appearance of two small die breaks on &quot;Example 2&quot; (seen as small dash-lines on the cheek and just behind the head) which would have developed over time and are not evidenced on &quot;Example 1&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>[Also, of interest (to me anyway) is that the two were purchased 23 years apart! &quot;Example 1&quot; was purchased from Bart Lewis in 1994. &quot;Example 2&quot; was purchased from Den of Antiquity in 2017.]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]946362[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
