<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4289535, member: 19463&quot;]On of the first pages on my website in 1997 was a report on what I knew about &#039;My Favorite coin&#039; (which I have owned over 56 years). </p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/feac6.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/feac6.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/feac6.html</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1091868[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>As part of that page, I showed a close-up of a part of the legend that I thought was interesting. Yesterday I reshot the close photo in the hope of seeing more on the matter of interest.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1091867[/ATTACH] </p><p>I believed then that the two S&#039;s in SEP SEV had been recut from C&#039;s.&nbsp; I also showed a photo of a coin with the same obverse die and a close-up of that same region.&nbsp; I also did a reshoot on that close-up.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1091875[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1091874[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>As before, the second S here appears to be an uncorrected C while the one in SEP matches the other coin with the correction.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a few more coins of this die but those are in worse shape and may not add much to the question.&nbsp; I will be working on new photos of them if any shows something worthwhile.&nbsp; I would like to figure out the sequence of use of this die but need to take care not to jump to assumptions even to such things as whether there was a recut here.&nbsp; <u>I would appreciate seeing any coins anyone has or knows to exist online that shows clear examples of this die.</u>&nbsp; The easy tip off on the die is the use of PEPT rather than PERT on the right side.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s what I&#039;m doing between naps.&nbsp; I trust the rest of you are similarly staying out of trouble.&nbsp; I have not worked for 17 years so being laid off from my volunteer activities has left extra time for napping and revisiting old friends (the coins).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
