<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1487820, member: 26302&quot;]Actually your right Doug. I thought it was part of the damage from the o****ermark whcih is about 7 oclock on the reverse, but a mark like yours extends from 7 to 9 on the reverse. Never really noticed it before, its less pronounced than yours. Doesn&#039;t really look like a cut though.</p><p><br /></p><p>This was an interesting time for the Hepthalites. Their power was broken by Khusro I and the turks, and by this time most of their previous territory was controlled by the turks, save for an outpost in takharistan. I wonder how they know this countermark is Hepthalite versus turkish? I have mine identified as Hepthalite as well, but considering the timeframe now I wonder about it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
