<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2710645, member: 19463&quot;]Curtis Clay has a theory that I accept that two teams shared one obverse die.&nbsp; Each had a reverse die and a holder.&nbsp; If the first coin was not removed in time the second reverse holder might position his die over the first and the hammer man (probably not the smart one) hit again.&nbsp; If everything was flat and even, the entire first strike would be removed.&nbsp; If uneven you get Steve&#039;s coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really wanted that coin but decided I could not prove the die was different so it might not be an example of Curtis&#039; theory.&nbsp; That kept me from bidding. My best example so far is this Arcadius.&nbsp; The inverted strike almost was erased.&nbsp; If the two reverse dies were held by their users with the same side facing him but they worked facing each other across the die, every other coin would be struck with the opposite axis.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]612068[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
