<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1998154, member: 42773&quot;]The addition of that column certainly complicates things, doesn&#039;t it? I have not found this type anywhere. It certainly would be RIC 669 without the column. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s my theory, for what it&#039;s worth. The coin IS, in fact, RIC 669, and the column represents an engraver&#039;s error. Perhaps the initial rut to outline the figure of Salus was engraved too far to the right, and subsequently corrected. Or, perhaps the engraver began to carve the Salus-seated-left type, in which case the column would have been the back of her chair. Then he realized he was supposed to be making the Salus-standing-right type.</p><p><br /></p><p>At any rate, if anyone can find another example it would prove me wrong, but I don&#039;t think it&#039;s a column at all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
