<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2060527, member: 19463&quot;]These are questions I fail to answer.&nbsp; I once believed that it might be evidence that the two dies were locked up separately at night and randomly assorted in the day but that suggests I should find these reverses (the dies, not just the types)used with other obverses and I do not).&nbsp; The faster wear theory would suggest we should see worn and damaged reverse dies but I fail to see evidence that any of these dies were used to failure.&nbsp; The questions need to be addressed by someone studying thousands of coins but I am not sure that there are that many coins from this period in existence.&nbsp; Other than the regular COSII obverses, I consider a coin known by ten examples to be a common one.&nbsp; This could be completely off depending on how many collectors there are who have these but do not share them online.&nbsp; I just noticed an old image I had showing the obverse with a Virtus reverse so there are at least seven (and two I need).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
