<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 905498, member: 19463"]While I very much agree with this, we need to understand that there were a few times when the portrait was on the top die and a few cases when dies were hinged making a pair of equals rather than being a distinct top and bottom. I have no example of the first but I believe the Gallic Empire used hinged dies explaining my reverse brockages. There is always a chance that such sloppy workmanship might indicate an unofficial mint. I believe this Comes type belonged to Tetricus I.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
