[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2404508, member: 19463"]Latitude suggests there were rules spelled out that would suggest the cutter should/could make changes. I suspect it was more unwritten and a variation could happen that was more different than wrong like leaving out a letter would be. AVS and AVG reverses: [ATTACH=full]496010[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]496011[/ATTACH] AVS on obverse corrected to AVG (or was it the other way?): [ATTACH=full]496012[/ATTACH] Perhaps you are right calling it an error but this erroe was one easier to make than others possibly because neither S nor G were letters in the cutter's native tongue. Similar 'mistakes' are seen with B and R. B for R on reverse: [ATTACH=full]496013[/ATTACH] Two times B for R on reverse: [ATTACH=full]496014[/ATTACH] Is the date at Caesarea here year two ET B with an R for the B or is this year one R for A? [ATTACH=full]496017[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]496018[/ATTACH] Some errors seem almost stylish?[/QUOTE]
