<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2845032, member: 19463&quot;]Building on the excellent post by benhur767:&nbsp; You can even buy duplicates closer related than that.&nbsp; The two coins of Septimius Severus below were struck from the same die pair.&nbsp; Studying them will show the differences between things that were part of the die and things that were caused in striking and later (centering, double striking, wear, post mint damage etc.).&nbsp; Die duplicates are not scarce with rare coins.&nbsp; There are even some that were all made from a single die pair. It is very unlikely you will find a die match for a very common type that was made from a thousand different dies.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Look at these two coins and see letter spacing, a die crack and style elements that match.&nbsp; I thought once I didn&#039;t want both of these so I tried to sell the lesser one.&nbsp; I failed, thank you.&nbsp; I would miss it.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]674035[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]674036[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
