<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PlanoSteve, post: 7813823, member: 91609&quot;]Great story...wonderful to see these hoards continually showing up...(not surprising considering the dearth (&quot;derthe&quot;) of banks back then.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Comparing the coin in question to the others, one thing that strikes me is the detail given to the eyes on those coins, except for the one in question.&nbsp; I would think that having a coin of the Emperor with <b><i>obvious</i></b> &quot;intentional&quot; mutilation would result in some consequence if found out. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie67" alt=":nailbiting:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; On the other hand, if the mutilation &quot;seems&quot; accidental, it may be overlooked.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Perhaps showing the Emperor was &quot;blind&quot; to Christianity with a mark that &quot;seems&quot; accidental is what someone was trying to accomplish?&nbsp; Based on the way it looks <b><i>to me</i></b>, I think it was intentional.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>JMO, since we will never really know.&nbsp; Nevertheless, I like to see these stories &amp; the adventures &amp; dedication of the detectorists (I really miss that show &quot;The Detectorists&quot; on BBC;&nbsp; can&#039;t seem to find it anymore.&nbsp; Did anyone notice the part Diana Rigg played?
