<p>[QUOTE="1934 Wreath Crown, post: 6611782, member: 76965"]Is it common to find ancients (I'm talking Lysimachus with diademed head of Alexander III tetradrachms) struck from EXACTLY the same dies or is it a fairly rare occurrence? I purchased one about three years ago and have just stumbled upon another one which is from exactly the same obverse and reverse dies. In fact it was the reverse die that caught my attention and made me take a closer look. </p><p><br /></p><p>Would it be cool to have two identical examples? What do you think?</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm sure thousands of tetradrachms were struck to pay the armies but still.......!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Don't want to post pictures as one is a current auction and I don't want to fall foul of forum rules.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

I'm sure thousands of tetradrachms were struck to pay the armies but still.......!!! Don't want to post pictures as one is a current auction and I don't want to fall foul of forum rules.[/QUOTE]
