<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3934686, member: 19463&quot;]The two oddballs I have seen are the shop B with SANSTO</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1037009[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>and the shop E with mintmark ANS for SMA. I once thought this was a reversal caused by the cutter forgetting that dies had to be cut in reverse but the ANS probably was started with AN for Antioch before he remembered he was supposed to use Sacra Moneta SM followed by the A for Antioch.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1037010[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The other common &quot;persecution&quot; coin type (Zeus/Victory) regularly used ANT mintmarks.&nbsp; I would like to know why the change was made.&nbsp; The error causing RIC to omit these coins probably has caused them to be ignored in studies and collections to the point we know less about them than would otherwise have been the case. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1037011[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
