<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3612461, member: 19463"]One of each size. My as (top) and the beautiful semis posted by PeteB show the wreath tie offset to the left (under the S). Significant??? The ring at the top of the wreath on my as is similarly offset to the right (over the C). I assume this is just variation caused by each die being an individual work but we can dream of a hidden code that will be explained in the centuries to come. How many die cutters worked on these? Were the coins struck at Rome or were the dies Roman and shipped east for use in a mint there? There is plenty left for future investigators. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]967410[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]967411[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
