<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Olisipo, post: 2523786, member: 75543&quot;]Thanks for your answers, I&#039;m glad I asked. Indeed, I wasn&#039;t paying due attention to the difference between die match and coin match. Though I&#039;ve seen a few cases where even that distinction can be hard to make. I&#039;ll try to post an example of this later.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the first group of coins I did find a duplicate <a href="https://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details/collection_image_gallery.aspx?assetId=1313282001&amp;objectId=3613&amp;partId=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details/collection_image_gallery.aspx?assetId=1313282001&amp;objectId=3613&amp;partId=1" rel="nofollow">in the British Museum collection</a>. Curiously that coin was added to their collection in 1981, while one of the auctions gives a provenance up to 1982, so its possible they were all part of the same early-80s hoard.</p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t find a duplicate for the second group obverse anywhere apart from those three, and I still think they look odd, but the fact it features at least two different reverses is a point in its favor.</p><p><br /></p><p>In short, I guess the best we can do is doing as much research as possible on the type we want to collect. Got it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
