[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 5483562, member: 19463"]I don't have any really nice ones and am not likely to pay what it takes for the MSFB coins that come on the market. I put together two groups of ten Venus from behind reverses. That took longer tonight than I really wanted it to so my labels are scanty. Maybe I will edit them tomorrow? Click to enlarge. Rome: Left column: coins 1 and 2 - drapery right only VENERI VICTR coins 3 and 4 - drapery left only VENERI VICTR coin 5 - drapery both sides (rare on denarii, usual on aurei, bronzes and all Easterns) - I am now doubting my attribution of this coin to Rome. Right column: coin 1 - Overstruck on Commodus? Manlia portrait? coins 2 and 3 - die dupes with and without die clash coin 4 - the strongest die clash on these that I have seen coin 5 - barbarous imitation [ATTACH=full]1239253[/ATTACH] Eastern mints: Left column: coin 1 - Early style 'Emesa' coin 2 - a bit later coin 3 - IVLA obverse misspelling (this error also come from Alexandria) coin 4 - reverse VENERI VICTRICI coin 5 - reverse VENEBI VICTBICI (same obverse die) Right column: coins 1,2 and 3 - later 'Emesa' version with VENER VICTOR coin 4 - Alexandria mint coin 5 - Alexandria mint with Septimius [ATTACH=full]1239254[/ATTACH] These coins represent the better half of my group (based on style). There are many dies with less 'detail'. There was a time I bought these without a lot of selectivity but now I only would add a 'special' variation.[/QUOTE]
