I posted this one before, but it fits to what you are asking: [B]VULCAN from SAMNIA[/B] NORMALLY, this coin has SPLIT FLANS. I should never had found this little guy, but I "lucked" into it. After I received it, I felt that I had cheated myself by NOT having the cool split flans that this coin was known for [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/upload_2021-2-6_13-37-25-png.1248315/[/IMG] Samnium Aesernia 263-240 BCE AE 20 Vulcan Pilos Tongs Jupiter Biga [B][I][COLOR=#b30000]So, at a later time: My SECOND Vulcan coin from Samnium was this one, because the SPLIT FLANS is the norm for that coin:[/COLOR][/I][/B] Not a downgrade purchase, rather a SIDEWAYS purchase to capture the coin as it is known for!
